- "Sessions presents a critical and historical analysis of Bacon's writings, providing a deeper understanding of the meaning of Bacon's texts by analyzing Bacon's intentions and his literary and philosophical strategies. Framing his work around two leitmotivs dominating Bacon's writing - the world as it is and the world as it could be - Sessions masterfully demonstrates that Bacon's texts can be read both as "contemplative inscriptions" and as "instruments for the remaking of history." This compendious study begins with a biographical overview of Bacon's life, and each subsequent chapter comprises a summary and close reading of a major work or a number of works by Bacon. Included are critical commentaries on Bacon's Essays, law texts, and historical biography of Henry VII; also covered are The Great Instauration, Bacon's philosophical text the Advancement of Learning, and his visionary New Atlantis."@en
