Overview: The antiquarian and biographer John Aubrey is best known for vivid, intimate and at times acerbic sketches of his famous seventeenth century contemporaries. His celebrated ‘Brief Lives’ are not biographies in the strict sense, being based on observation and gossip, offering engaging portraits that are graced by picturesque and revealing detail. Winning great acclaim with later generations, they include revealing stories of such figures as Francis Bacon, Thomas Browne, Sir Walter Raleigh, Edmund Halley, Ben Jonson, Thomas Hobbes and William Shakespeare.
