Browne was an English polymath, whose knowledge spanned the areas of science, medicine, religion, and the esoteric. His writings concentrated on his curiosity towards the natural world, as he was heavily influenced by the scientific revolution of his time; while his work simultaneously infused references to classical and Biblical sources. His prose style varied according to the genre it reflected: it has been characterized by wit and subtle humor, rough notebook observations, to rich and polished Baroque style.
