She produced a study of the era of the early Royal Society in Ingenious Pursuits (1999) and biographies of Robert Hooke and Christopher Wren. Her very numerous publications ranged widely through the fields of literature, art, science, and cultural history, particularly of the Renaissance and the 17th century. Her boundless intellectual curiosity and enthusiasm for communicating ideas to a wide audience made her not only an inspiring teacher but a successful author, lecturer, and broadcaster. There she was Professor of Renaissance Studies, and Director of the UCL Centre for Humanities Interdisciplinary Research Projects (CHIRP). Her research interests led her to found the Centre for Editing Lives and Letters, which she took with her when she moved to University College, London in 2012. During that time she was Head of the English Department, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, and Centenary Professor of Renaissance Studies. In 1990 Jardine began a new phase of life at Queen Mary, University of London, where she was to be based for more than 20 years. She remained here, teaching English, until 1989. In this historic move, in April 1976, the College chose her as its first female Fellow. She gained experience of teaching in several academic institutions before becoming a Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge, and shortly afterwards being elected to a fellowship at Jesus College. She then undertook a Cambridge PhD, with the resulting dissertation published in book form as Francis Bacon: Discovery and the Art of Discourse (1974). Graduating in 1966, she went on to gain an MA from the University of Essex. She initially studied Mathematics at Newnham College but transferred to English in her final year, partly as a result of the influence of Raymond Williams (a Fellow of Jesus College). Lisa Anne Jardine (1944-2015) was the eldest daughter of Rita and Jacob Bronowski.
