John Aubrey and the Realm of Learning

Michael Hunter

4.9/5 (28920 ratings)

Description:“Though it is as a biographer that he is now most widely known, the author of Brief Lives was in his day a scientist and antiquary of note. His Monumenta Britannica was the first English book that can be called archaeological in the modern sense of the word, and at his death he left a whole series of other writings ranging from topography and natural science to education, magic and folklore. That these are so little known is perhaps largely due to the vicissitudes of their publishing history, for some of the most important have never appeared in print. This new book discusses and evaluates all Aubrey's writings, analysing the development of his ideas. It lays stress on the interrelation of Aubrey's interests in different subjects and in so doing illuminates many aspects of his biographical work as well. It also raises wider issues in seventeenth-century history, throwing new light on the survival of occult ideas in scientific circles in the period of the early Royal Society, and arguing that the origins of modern archaeology should be attributed to the influence of the scientific movement. It sifts a vast amount of research and presents it in a form both useful to the student and attractive to the learned general reader.”-Publisher.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
