Description

Argues that the Elizabethan polymath John Dee was not the influential intellectual he purported himself to be. Dees scientific works were anachronistic and in no way heralded the new age of experimental science. This book traces the course of Dees life showing how he was a marginal figure and his works had little lasting value. It also provides a useful historiographical summation of Dees life and career.
