Browne was an inspiration to the Romantics as well as to W.G. Sebald, and his work is quirky, sonorous, and enchanting. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere this baroque master's two most enduring and admired works, \u003ci\u003eReligio Medici\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eUrne-Buriall\u003c\/i\u003e, appear in a new edition that has been annotated and introduced by the distinguished scholars Ramie Targoff and Stephen Greenblatt (author of the best-selling \u003ci\u003eWill in the World\u003c\/i\u003e and the National Book Award-winning \u003ci\u003eThe Swerve\u003c\/i\u003e). In \u003ci\u003eReligio Medici\u003c\/i\u003e Browne mulls over the relation between his medical profession and his profession of the Christian faith, pondering the respective claims of science and religion, questions that are still very much alive today. The discovery of an ancient burial site in an English field prompted Browne to write Urne-Buriall, which is both an early anthropological examination of different practices of interment and a profound meditation on mortality. Its grave and exquisite music has resounded for generations.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Religio Medici and Hydiotaphia, or Urne-Buriall | Thomas Browne | Paperback | 9781590174883 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks B 1778303","offer_id":49814202515608,"sku":"1778303","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81FLqQctEJL.jpg?v=1788534567","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/religio-medici-and-hydiotaphia-or-urne-buriall","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
