​The cusp of life and death: Sir Thomas Browne and the religion of a physician

Sir Thomas Browne MD, a collector of curiosities, debunker of myths, inspiration to writers and doctors alike, coiner of words, owner of a live ostrich and expert witness at a witch trial. Sir Thomas Browne is probably the greatest British genius the vast majority of British people have never even heard of.

He was also a renowned physician, wrote some of the most beautiful prose in English and has long figured in the history of medicine and the humanities. His most famous work, 
Religio Medici, 'the Religion of a Physician', deals with the relation between the body and soul, the cusp of life and death.

In his talk,  Dr Kevin Killeen will address Browne's intellectual world, his experiments and how he understood the mesh of science, humanities and the religious.

Dr Kevin Killeen is a lecturer in the Department of English at the University of York. He is one of the editors of the Oxford Works of Sir Thomas Browne. He has written several books, on Browne, on seventeenth century politics and religion and on the history of science.
