Religio Medici, Hydriotaphia and Letter to a Friend

Gelesen von Barbara Baker

Selections from the varied writings of a 17th century English doctor with a well-stocked mind, an interest in the new science of his age and a deep religious faith. His prose is famous for its Baroque complexity and its frequent eloquence. Sir Thomas endowed English with numerous quotations and was a notable coiner of words, many of which are still in common use. - Summary by Barbara Baker (7 hr 34 min)
