Frances A. Yates 1899-1981

These seven collected pieces about the Renaissance historian Frances A. Yates were originally printed separately in 'Who's Who', 'The Times' obituaries, 'The Sunday Times', or spoken at her funeral.

Historians did not know how to place Yates. She created her own discipline and her books were written in an engaging, conversational style. Her two heroes, to whom all her later research was related, were William Shakespeare and Giordano Bruno. The contributors to this collection are unanimous that Yates generated excitement for Renaissance life and thought, and was a pathfinder who stood outside conventional academia.

Edited by Hugh Trevor-Roper, E.H. Gombrich, Margaret Mann Phillips and Sydney Anglo.
