书籍简介
This authoritative edition was originally published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together an extensive collection of Bacon"s writing - the major prose in full, together with sixteen other pieces not otherwise available - to give the essence of his work and thinking. Although he had a distinguished career as a lawyer and statesman, Francis Bacon"s lifelong goal was to improve and extend human knowledge.
In The Advancement of Learning (1605) he made a brilliant critique of the deficiencies of previous systems of thought and proposed improvements to knowledge in every area of human life. He conceived the Essays (1597, much enlarged in 1625) as a study of the formative influences on human behaviour, psychological and social. In The NewAtlantis (1626) he outlined his plan for a scientific research institute in the form of a Utopian fable.
In addition to these major English works this edition includes "Of Tribute", an important early work here printed complete for the first time, and a revealing selection of his legal and political writings, togetherwith his poetry. A special feature of the edition is its extensive annotation which identifies Bacon"s sources and allusions, and glosses his vocabulary. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World"s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford"s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

在《学习的进步》(1605)一书中，他对以前思想体系的缺陷做出了杰出的批评，并提出了对人类生活各个领域知识的改进。他构思了这些文章(1597年，1625年扩展)，作为对人类行为的形成影响，心理和社会的研究。在1626年的《新瓦提斯》(The NewAtlantis)一书中，他以乌托邦寓言的形式概述了自己建立科学研究机构的计划。
除了这些主要的英文作品，这个版本还包括"贡品"这是一个重要的早期作品，这是第一次印刷完成，还有他的法律和政治作品的选集，以及他的诗歌。该版本的一个特色是其广泛的注释，确定了培根的来源和典故，并注释了他的词汇。关于这个系列:100多年来，牛津的世界经典著作为全世界提供了最广泛的文学作品。
