Los escritos de Sir Thomas Browne revelan una profunda curiosidad por el mundo natural, profundamente influenciados por la revolución científica y la investigación baconiana. Sus obras literarias están ricamente entrelazadas con referencias a fuentes Clásicas y Bíblicas, unidas a los contornos únicos de su propia personalidad. Aunque a menudo se caracteriza por la melancolía, su prosa está igualmente marcada por el ingenio y el humor sutil. El estilo de Browne es notablemente versátil, cambiando de las crudas observaciones de sus cuadernos a la pulida elocuencia de la retórica Barroca, lo que resulta en una voz literaria distintiva y cautivadora.
Edited by Frank L. Huntley, this volume pairs the complete texts of both "Hydriotaphia (Urn Burial)" and "The Garden of Cyrus" published together (as they were in the original edition in 1658). With modernized spelling, punctuation, and an ample glossary, this edition is also extremely well annotated and includes an introduction, a list of principal dates in the life of Sir Thomas Browne, and a bibliography.
Exploring themes of faith and science, this classic work by Sir Thomas Browne delves into the author's personal reflections on religion and philosophy. Written in 1642, it offers a profound contemplation of the human experience and the nature of belief, inviting readers to ponder the intersection of spirituality and rational thought. This unaltered edition preserves the original text, allowing modern audiences to engage with Browne's insightful musings.
Exploring a blend of spirituality and personal reflection, this work features Sir Thomas Browne's "Religio Medici," a groundbreaking psychological self-portrait that delves into his Christian faith while also touching on alchemy, astrology, and more. Accompanied by "Hydriotaphia," which examines burial customs through the lens of a Roman urn discovery, and "A Letter to a Friend," a witty medical treatise, this edition offers rich insights into 17th-century thought and Browne's unique perspectives on life and mortality.
