Brief Lives
Somewhere between Plutarch and today's tabloid gossip, Brief Lives is a timeless and strange collection of biographies, tales, and hearsay concerning some of early-modern Britain's greatest thinkers and public figures. At times rigorous, at others scandalous, these vignettes are as informative as they are entertaining, humanizing such hallowed individuals as William Shakespeare, Francis Bacon, Ben Jonson, and Sir Walter Raleigh.
