WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RUTH SCURRJohn Aubrey was a modest man, a self-styled antiquarian and the man who invented modern biography.
John Aubrey Knihy
12. březen 1626 – 7. červen 1697
Tento anglický učenec proslul zejména svými stručnými životopisy, které představují fascinující pohled do života a díla jeho současníků. Byl průkopníkem v archeologii i folkloristice, systematicky zaznamenával historické památky a lidové zvyky, čímž přispěl k uchování cenných poznatků. Jeho zájem o anglická místní jména a nedokončené historické projekty dokládají jeho široké bádání. Přátelil se s předními vědci své doby a jeho dílo odráží polyhistorický zájem o svět.
