With great panache Cook moves from detailed accounts of Forman's medical and astrological practises, to his extensive womanising, recorded in his "halek notes", or record of sexual conquests, ranging from his first shadowy marriage, through his tragic relationship with the Catholic Recusant Avisa Allen, Emilia Lanier (thought by many to be Shakespeare's Dark Lady), and his young wife who bore him a son in middle age. This is a delightful study of one of the more colourful figures of the time, that wears its learning lightly and offers a fascinating account of everyday life in Elizabethan England. --Jerry Brotton
