John Aubrey (1626-97) has come to be recognized as England’s first serious biographer. Patrick Garland’s adaptation of Aubrey’s writings represents a day in the latter part of Aubrey’s life. “It is as if one is paying a visit to the house of an old man, who makes up for the absence of friends by bringing to life reminiscences of people, remembering them and telling stories about them.”
