John Dee: The Politics of Reading and Writing in the English Renaissance - Paperback

by William H. Sherman (Author)

This book challenges the conventional image of John Dee (1527-1609) as an isolated, eccentric philosopher. Instead, William H. Sherman presents Dee in a fresh context, revealing that he was a well-connected adviser to the academic, courtly, and commercial circles of his day.
