Sir Francis Bacon
English Philosopher
Francis Bacon is the Chief figure of the English Renaissance. His advocacy of "action science" influenced the culture of the entire English speaking world.
Francis Bacon studied law at Cambridge and became Lord Chancellor in 1618. His 'Essays' has remained the most popular writing, his two greatest scientific works being 'Novum Organum' and 'The Advancement of Learning' in which he pleaded for the recognition of science. He insisted on collecting facts first, and then drawing theories from them - a method which is today called "inductive".
John Betjeman
English poet and essayist. He wrote a peculiarly English form of romantic and nostalgic light verse, as well as prose works on architecture and social history which reflect his interest in the Gothic Revival. His Collected Poems appeared 1958 and a verse autobiography, Summoned by Bells, 1960. He became poet laureate 1972.
Betjeman was born in London and educated at Oxford. During World War II he had a post at the Admiralty, and after that worked for a time for the British Council. He was a contemporary of W H Auden at Oxford, but he had little in common with the poets of the 1930s. His verse is backward-looking, traditional in form - favouring iambic lines and a conversational clarity - and subject matter. He recalls with great precision and affection details of his childhood in N London and holidays in Cornwall. He also admires and champions Victorian and Edwardian taste.
