Kelsey Jackson Williams presents the first full account of the manuscript notebooks of the antiquary John Aubrey (1626-1697), which cover everything from the origins of Stonehenge to the evolution of folklore. He reshapes our understanding of Aubrey, and of the methodologies, ambitions, and achievements of antiquarianism across early modern Europe.
