Their story celebrates the triumph of human ingenuity at a time of rapid and profound change when all the old certainties were breaking down - in politics, religion, art and culture, philosophy, even geography. The Tradescants were pioneers (the father, especially) but they were also quintessentially men of their time. How they responded to the risks and opportunities of their lives gives us a privileged glimpse into an extraordinary age, which began in superstition and wonder and ended with the dawning of science.
