    Author Thomas Browne
    “Book Descriptions: Sir Thomas Browne is one of the supreme stylists of the English
    language: a coiner of words and spinner of phrases of a near
    Shakespearean fecundity; the wielder of a weird and wonderful
    erudition; an inquiring spirit in the mold of Montaigne.
    Browne was an inspiration to Samuel Taylor Coleridge and
    Thomas De Quincy, as well as to W.G. Sebald, and his unique
    voice is both quirky and sonorous, an echo chamber that is full
    of enchantment. This new edition of Browne’s two most enduring
    and beloved works, Religio Medici, in which he weighs
    and ponders the relation between his medical profession
    and his profession of the Christian faith, and Urne-Burial, an
    exquisite meditation on mortality, has been put together by
    the distinguished Renaissance Scholar and bestselling author
    of Will in the World, Stephen Greenblatt, and Ramie Targoff.
    It includes an extensive introduction and annotations that will
    help readers find their way into the extraordinary world of Sir
    Thomas Browne.”
