Summary:
"Set in the beating heart of late Renaissance London, Thomas Wright'
s
vivid and visceral biography shows how
Harvey
drew inspiration not only from his dissections and vivisections, but also from the world around him: from England'
s
bustling trade networks to technological developments of the time. It features a dramatic cast of historical characters, including Francis Bacon, England'
s
Lord Chancellor and a recalcitrant patient of
Harvey
's; John Donne, a poet and preacher fascinated with anatomy and the human heart; and King Charles I,
Harvey
's beloved patron and witness to many of his experiments."--From publisher.
