Product Information

Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682) was an English writer, physician, and philosopher whose work has inspired everyone from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Jorge Luis Borges, Virginia Woolf to Stephen Jay Gould. In an intellectual adventure like Sarah Bakewell's book about Montaigne, How to Live, Hugh Aldersey-Williams sets off not just to tell the story of Browne's life but to champion his skeptical nature and inquiring mind. Mixing botany, etymology, medicine, and literary history, Aldersey-Williams journeys in his hero's footsteps to introduce us to witches, zealots, natural wonders, and fabulous creatures of Browne's time and ours. We meet Browne the master prose stylist, responsible for introducing hundreds of words into English, including electricity, hallucination, and suicide. Aldersey-Williams reveals how Browne's preoccupations--how to disabuse the credulous of their foolish beliefs, what to make of order in nature, how to unite science and religion--are relevant today. In Search of Sir Thomas Browne is more than just a biography--it is a cabinet of wonders and an argument that Browne, standing at the very gates of modern science, remains an inquiring mind for our own time. As Stephen Greenblatt has written, Browne is "unnervingly one of our most adventurous contemporaries."

Reviews
A wonderfully erratic, promenading book, in which we see how different, yet how similar we still are today to that most serene, most enigmatic science pioneer and literary master, Sir Thomas Browne, whose prose style is one of the highest peaks in English literature, according to Borges and to my humble self., Superb.... Aldersey-Williams has produced not a standard biography but a fascinating genre-bending melange of life story, medicine, science and human culture.... With luck this fine tribute will bring Browne the wider readership he richly deserves., In reintroducing this singular thinker and writer, which Aldersey-Williams calls his 'obsession,' the author finds fresh insight. An elegant, pleasantly obsessive study of a 'life of tolerance, humour, serenity and untiring curiosity.', Engaging and thoughtful.... Like some of the most compelling biographers, Aldersey-Williams partly inhabits his subject., A triumph. With humour, humility and intelligent generosity, Aldersey-Williams brings Sir Thomas Browne splendidly to life, urns and all., [F]ascinating.... [A] cleverly constructed and amusing book, on a subject deserving of fresh attention., This is just the kind of celebration Sir Thomas Browne needs and deserves: not a conventional biography but a meditation filled with intellectual curiosity, tolerance, humane observation, and gentle wit. It shows Browne as a man caught in the currents of his times while musing on timeless questions--and, like Aldersey-Williams, determined to weigh up the evidence without dogmatism, and to enjoy the richness of the world., Sir Thomas Browne was the great English literary eccentric, but also a true philosopher, driven by curiosity about absolutely everything. One can't just like or admire him; to read him is to lose oneself in him.
