- Frances A. Yates received a master's degree in French theatre from London University in 1926. She taught at North London Collegiate School until 1939. A small inheritance from her father gave her the freedom to conduct some independent study and at some point she discovered forgotten documents in the London Public Records Office about the late 16th-century linguist and translator John Florio. In 1934, she published her first book, John Florio: the Life of an Italian in Shakespeare's England, which laid the groundwork for the rest of her prize-winning career as a scholar of the Renaissance. She also taught at the Warburg Institute of the University of London for many years.

PREFACE
IN my book, The Art of Memory, I devoted one chapter to
arguing that the stage illustration in Robert Fludd's art
of memory can throw light on Shakespeare's Globe
Theatre. That book as a whole was concerned purely with
the history of the art of memory. The chapter on Fludd and the
Globe had to be included in it because it was only through the
history of the art of memory that the evidence in Fludd's memory
system about a real 'public theatre' could be understood and
interpreted. Much more work needed to be done, and other
approaches made to this exciting subject in order to
supplement and substantiate the approach through the art
of memory.
As I there said, 'There is much more actual research to be done,
particularly on the German end of the publication of Fludd's
work . .. and on Vitruvian influences in both Dee and Fludd
In this book I carry on further research along these lines
The book is primarily centred on John Dee and Robert
Fludd as representatives of Renaissance philosophy in England,
with particular reference to the evidence in their works of the
influence of the Renaissance revival of Vitruvius. It is not
generally known that there was a strong influence of the
Renaissance Vitruvius in England before Inigo Jones. In this book I
put forward a claim for John Dee, magus and mathematician,
as a propagator of Vitruvian influences in Tudor England
John Dee's Preface to the English translation of Euclid,
published in 1570, contains long quotations from Vitruvius and
Alberti in praise of the supremacy of architecture among the
mathematical sciences. Dee's Preface connects with the scientific
movement of late Tudor England which is thus shown to owe...… (más)
