The genius of Francis Bacon is nowhere better revealed than in his essays. Bacon's education was grounded in the classical texts of ancient Greece and Rome, but he brought vividness and color to the arid scholasticism of medieval book-learning.

The genius of Francis Bacon is nowhere better revealed than in his essays.
Bacon's education was grounded in the classical texts of ancient Greece and Rome, but he brought vividness and color to the arid scholasticism of medieval book-learning.
