by Daniela Havenstein (Author), D. Havenstein (Author)

This study looks anew at one of the most popular books of the seventeenth century, Sir Thomas Brown's Religio Medici.

Browne's style is reassessed in a fresh approach that combines traditional analysis with carefully developed quantitative methods.
