Editors: Publisher:Cambridge University Press Place of Publication:Cambridge, England ; New York Publication Date:2005 Alternate Date (i.e. Conference Date): Volume: Issue: Start Page:250 End Page: Abstract:"Claire Preston argues that Thomas Browne's work can be fully understood only within the range of disciplines and practices associated with natural philosophy and early modern empiricism. In this major new evaluation of Browne's oeuvre, Preston examines how the developing essay form, the discourse of scientific experiment, and above all Bacon's model of intellectual progress and cooperation determined the unique character of Browne's contributions to early modern literature, science and philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
