A profound and delightful jeu d'esprit of a book, mixing biography, etymology, cultural history and quixotic scientific experiments. Aldersey-Williams pulls the unfairly neglected yet enormously influential writer Thomas Browne out of the obscure pages of Pseudodoxia Epidemica and into the 21st century, to apply his generous curiosity and rational intelligence to the vagaries and contradictions of life today. Browne has had some impressive fans (Sebald, Woolf, Borges, Poe, Marias) but this book will revive him, bringing his extraordinary genius to a whole new audience.

Excerpt from Works of Sir Thomas Browne After his return to England, Dr. Browne appears to have established himself in practice at Shipden Hall, near Halifax; and at this place, in the enforced leisure that generally falls to the lot of the young doctor, he doubtless wrote his first and most famous work, the Religio Medici. Internal evidences, derived from the references he makes to his age in the Religio Medici, almost certainly fix the actual year in which this unique 'piece of serene wisdom was written as 1635, when he was in his thirtieth year. He wrote: As yet I have not seen one revolution of Saturn, nor hath my pulse beat thirty years and again, in his preface to the edition of 1643: This, I confess, about seven years past, with some others of affinity thereto, for my private exercise and satisfaction, I had at leisure hours composed.'

Sir Thomas Browne (1605-82) was a writer of breathtaking range and learning, whose works demonstrate a warm and humorous view of human nature. Religio Medici is a fascinating, witty and intimate exploration of his views on faith and tolerance, while substantial selections from Pseudodoxia Epidemica display Browne's breadth of knowledge and omnivorous curiosity in his account of common errors in a startling array of subjects including sciences, history, literature and philosophy. Hydriotaphia or 'Urn Buriall' is an intriguing meditation on death and the desire for immortality, The Garden of Cyrus considers the mysterious order to be found in nature, and A Letter to a Friend and the aphoristic Christian Morals provide profound spiritual guidance to readers.
