That Britain was notably populous is undeniable, from that expression of Cæsar[17]. That the Romanes themselves were early in no small numbers, Seventy Thousand with their associats slain by Boadicea, affords a sure account. And though many Roman habitations are now unknown, yet some by old works, Rampiers, Coynes, and Urnes do testifie their Possessions. Some Urnes have been found at Castor, some also about Southcreake and not many years past, no lesse then ten in a field at Buxton,[18] not near any recorded Garrison. Nor is it strange to finde Romane Coynes of Copper and Silver among us; of Vespasia. . . Read More

Don't listen to me, listen to Virginia Woolf:
From Woolf's Essay "Sir Thomas Browne", a review of the Golden Cockerel edition of the Works of Sir Thomas Browne, published in Times Literary Supplement (1923)
The 'great revival of interest in the work of Sir Thomas Browne' which the publishers disc
This is a hard book to rate - I can see why many people find it brilliant and a source of inspiration. Personally, I just found it a little too much like hard work. If you are an aficionado of literature of this era and used to this style of writing you may well love it. I like some of the slightly
Crazy in the way that Anatomy of Melancholy is crazy, sort of? Reminded a bit of Pliny's Natural History, an early modern Wikipedia to Pliny's ancient Wikipedia, where every line needs a few "[citation needed]" sprinkled throughout. Browne covers a variety of topics, at least, but beyond the curiosi
Like the fifth and concluding act of an Elizabethan play or, more precisely, like the geometric five which is produced as a result of the combination of man and woman, Thomas Browne prophesied that America would be the seat of the fifth and final empire of human civilization. Just having read Noam C
This is a pretty great collection of works that is criminally overlooked. I only had heard about Browne from W.G. Sebald's "The Rings of Saturn". Sebald talks a lot about Browne's "Urne Burial" which is probably the crown jewel of this collection but what I didn't expect was just how good the rest o
As far as I'm concerned, THE master of 17th century English prose par excellance, the rhetorical descendent of Sidney and Spenser. I just really love it. Highlights include, of course, 'Hydriotaphia' and his discourses on elephants and badgers.
Probably one of my 10 favorite books, my bible. The erudition, the winding, labyrinthine prose... but most of all, his touchingly unshakable faith in God. This last part is the reason why a lot of "smart" elites are turned off of Browne, and read him only for style. It's one of the best reasons to r
It is hard work for me to understand much of what Sir Thomas wrote and, without the internet, I'm not sure the numerous references and footnotes (many in Greek!) wouldn't have overwhelmed me.
It has been worth the effort - I enjoy being transported in time to the C17 and into the quirkily stimulatin
