“Change of weather is the discourse of fools.”

English churchman and historian

Thomas Fuller was an English churchman and historian. He is remembered for his writing, especially for Worthies of England, which was published in 1662 after his death. His work placed him among the early English writers who could support themselves through authorship. Fuller wrote a great deal across his career, and his reputation rests mainly on the breadth and liveliness of that work. He is also noted as one of the first English authors able to make a living from his pen, a sign of how fully he worked as a professional writer.
