Sir Thomas Browne, research from the past affecting the future.
The work of Sir Thomas Browne is something that I frequently quote in my archaeological faunal research, particularly his work on birds. His research can add to my findings to help current and future plans to reintroduce some species, such as the White-Tailed Eagle, where there is consideration given to archaeological records and documentary evidence. Approx 40 mins
Break for wine, tea and cake
Kevin Faulkner, Norwich-based scholar of Thomas Browne and western esotericism
The alchemy of Sir Thomas Browne
The alchemy of Browne: A brief look at the diptych discourses of 1658, Urn-Burial and the Garden of Cyrus and their relationship to each other with reference to the contents of his library, literary symbolism and esotericism during the 1650s. Approx 40 mins
