Description
Sir Thomas Browne's Religio Medici and Urne-Buriall is a profound exploration of the intersection between science and faith. In this new edition, annotated by Ramie Targoff and Stephen Greenblatt, Browne's unique blend of erudition and introspection shines through. Browne's medical profession and Christian faith are put to the test in Religio Medici, a work that continues to resonate with questions about the nature of science and religion. The discovery of an ancient burial site sparked Urne-Buriall, a meditation on mortality that is both a pioneering anthropological study and a deeply personal exploration. A master of language and form, Browne's writing has captivated readers for generations with its grave and exquisite music. This edition offers a unique opportunity to engage with two of his most enduring works in a new and thought-provoking way.
