Brief Lives

John Milton, Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes, and William Shakespeare are among the personalities investigated by Aubrey in this classic work of biographical shorts. At once gossipy and scholarly, these biographies draw a vivid picture of Elizabethan and Stuart England. Notes, a glossary, and a new introduction help elucidate this work.
