The idea behind this collection of some of Aubrey?s ?Brief Lives? essays was to ?Include only those lives for which a reasonably authentic contemporary portrait could be found ? ?Brief Lives? is one of the strangest books ? if indeed this collection of notes, excerpts, gossip and dry facts can be called a book ? to have achieved literary fame,? writes Richard Barber, who goes on to write that ?Their author was equally strange.?.
