In "William Lilly's History of His Life and Times, from the Year 1602 to 1681," the esteemed astrologer and writer William Lilly presents a fascinating autobiographical account that intertwines personal narrative with the tumultuous socio-political landscape of 17th-century England. Grounded in the literary style of the era, Lilly employs a reflective prose that balances vivid storytelling with astrological insights, offering readers not only a glimpse into his life but also the historical context of the English Civil War, the Plague, and the Restoration. This work serves as a crucial primary source for understanding the complex interactions between personal experience and wider historical currents, enriched by Lilly's profound astrological interpretations that shape his worldview. William Lilly, born in 1602, was both a practicing astrologer and a chronicler of his times, deeply influenced by the political upheaval of his youth and his profession. His background as the son of a farmer, combined with his intellectual curiosity, spurred him to explore the intricacies of both astrological practice and historical documentation. Lilly's integrity as a scholar and his engagement with contemporary events shaped his writing, giving readers the unique perspective of a man who lived through extraordinary transformations in society and governance. This book comes highly recommended for readers interested in astrology, history, or biographical narratives that reflect the interplay between personal and collective experiences. Lilly's keen observations and eloquent prose not only illuminate his own life but also capture the spirit of an era marked by change and upheaval, making it a valuable addition to any scholar's library or anyone seeking to understand the confluence of personal belief and historical reality.
