The basis for 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.”
