Summary "William Harvey" by Sir D'Arcy Power is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The biography details the life and contributions of William Harvey, the renowned physician known for discovering the circulation of blood. The text aims to encapsulate Harvey's legacy within the broader context of medical history, showcasing his background, education, and scientific achievements. The opening of the biography outlines the lineage of the Harvey family and provides a glimpse into the early life of William Harvey, who was born in Folkestone in 1578. It describes the familial context from which he emerged, emphasizing his father's involvement in local governance. The narrative reveals that not much is known about Harvey's formative years but indicates that he was likely influenced by the tumultuous events of his time, including the threat of the Spanish Armada, as well as his education at the King's School in Canterbury. The account sets the stage for exploring Harvey's journey in medicine, gradually leading into his later studies at prestigious institutions, such as Caius College in Cambridge and the University of Padua, where his fascination with anatomy and physiological principles took root.
