Almost forgotten today, Hooke was an eccentric character to say the least. Those who do remember him know him as the rival of Newton, or maybe have hazy recollections of Hooke's Law. As is pointed out in the last link below, he was more than that:
For example, did you know he was one of the architects of Bedlam? And surely I've told you about his rather sneaky additions he and his friend and co-worker Wren made to their designs for the Monument? A bitter man, but no less a genius, he deserves more recognition today.
