About this item
| Description: | John Aubrey (1626-97) loved England. From an early age, he saw his England slipping away and, against extraordinary odds, committed himself to preserving for posterity what remained of it - in books, monuments and life stories. His Brief Lives redefined the art of biography. My talk will introduce John Aubrey and explain why I have taken an innovative approach to writing his life. |
