Description

Explore the complex intellectual world of one of the seventeenth century's most enigmatic writers. In this work, Kevin Killeen examines Thomas Browne (1605-1682) to understand how early modern scholarly culture connected different fields of study. Through an analysis of Browne's diverse interests, this book provides a window into the relations between science, religion, and politics during this era. Browne's vast body of work covers many areas, including biblical commentary, natural history, and classical philology. This book tracks the specific intellectual climate that allowed such diverse topics to exist together. By looking at the cultural and political matrices of his time, Killeen offers a deep look at how natural philosophy and historiography functioned in early modern England. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of science and the development of scholarly culture.
