Description
"Brief Lives, Vol. 1" by John Aubrey is a collection of short biographies written in the last decades of the 17th century. Aubrey gathered intimate portraits of notable figures including Francis Bacon, William Shakespeare, and Thomas Hobbes by seeking out people who personally knew his subjects. Left chaotic at his death, the manuscripts were later organized by editors. Beloved for its gossipy tone and vivid glimpses into the unofficial lives of the famous, Aubrey's work captures colorful details that formal documents never could.
