JOHN AUBREY. MY OWN LIFE

Here is a biography that is also an act of imagination: a diary that seamlessly stitches together John Aubreys own words to tell th e story of his life. Aubreys lifes work was to commit to posterity the England he loved. His Brief Lives would redefine the art of biography and capture the personalities and spirit of the seventieth century like no other work. In his own voice, filled with wit, poignancy, drama and irreverence, this genre-defying account resurrects John Aubrey as a potent spirit for our own time.
