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

by William H. Sherman

Book Overview

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.
