Bøker av William (New College Poole

Remembered today for his 'Brief Lives', John Aubrey (1626-97) was one of the foremost scholars and antiquaries in the great decades of the British scientific revolution. This richly illustrated book is the first accessible guide to Aubrey's many diverse achievements as a biographer, antiquary, mathematician, and all-round virtuoso.

In Paradise Lost (1667), Milton produced the most magnificent poetic account ever written of the biblical Fall of man. In this wide-ranging study, William Poole analyses the origin, evolution, and contemporary discussion of the Fall, and offers many insights into the originality and sophistication of Milton's work.
