Summary: "The Life of Poggio Bracciolini" by William Shepherd is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This biography explores the life and contributions of Poggio Bracciolini, a pivotal figure in the Renaissance known for his role in the revival of literature and humanism.

At the start of the work, the author provides a preface explaining the motivation behind the biography, highlighting the inadequacies of previous accounts of Poggio's life. Shepherd mentions his preliminary research and the challenges he faced in compiling a coherent narrative. The opening chapters introduce Poggio’s birth and formative years, emphasizing his education in Florence and subsequent move to Rome, where he began his career in the Papal Chancery.
