This volume in the 21st Century Oxford Authors series offers students and readers an authoritative, comprehensive selection of the work of Sir Thomas Browne (1605-1682). Accompanied by full scholarly apparatus, the edition demonstrates the breadth of the author of some of the most brilliant and delirious prose in English Literature. Lauded by writers ranging from Coleridge to Virginia Woolf, from Borges to W.G. Sebald, Browne's distinct style and the musicality of his phrasing have long been seen as a pinnacle of early modern prose. However, it is Browne's range of subject matter that makes him truly distinct. His writings include the hauntingly meditative Urn-Burial, and the elaborate The Garden of Cyrus, a work that borders on a madness of infinite pattern. Religio Medici, probably Browne's most famous work, is at once autobiography, intricate religious-scientific paradox, and a monument of tolerance in the era of the English civil war. This volume also includes his Pseudodoxia Epidemica, an encyclopaedia of error which contains within its vast remit the entire intellectual landscape of the seventeenth century-its science, its natural history, its painting, its history, its geography and its biblical oddities. The volume enables students to experience the ways in which Browne brings his lucid, baroque and stylish prose to bear across this range of diverse material, together with a carefully poised wit. This volume contains almost all of the author's work that was published in his lifetime, as well as a selection of writings published after his death. Explanatory notes and commentary are included, to enhance the study, understanding, and enjoyment of these works, and the edition includes an Introduction to the life and works of Browne.

Sir Thomas Browne's Hydriotaphia and The Garden of Cyrus is a collection of two essays written by the English author and physician in the 17th century. The first essay, Hydriotaphia, is a reflection on burial customs and the meaning behind the various ways that people have buried their dead throughout history. Browne explores the symbolism and significance of different burial practices, from simple interment to elaborate tombs and mausoleums. He also considers the philosophical and religious implications of death and the afterlife.The second essay, The Garden of Cyrus, is a more playful and imaginative work that explores the symbolism of the number five and the shape of the quincunx in nature and art. Browne draws on a wide range of sources, including classical mythology, biblical stories, and scientific observations, to explore the various ways in which this pattern appears in the world around us.Together, these two essays offer a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most original and creative thinkers of the 17th century. Browne's prose is rich and evocative, blending scientific observation with poetic imagery to create a unique and compelling vision of the natural world and our place within it. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of ideas, philosophy, or the art of creative nonfiction.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1896 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
