Description: The Anatomy of Melancholy by Robert Burton, Angus Gowland Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A guidebook to melancholia or depression, and a masterly, all-encompassing examination of the human conditionThe Anatomy of Melancholy is the vast and only work by Robert Burton, the seventeenth-century English priest and scholar. It opens and cuts up the condition of melancholy, or depression, as we know it today, and in doing so explores a dizzying range of additional topics, including goblins, beauty, the geography of America, digestion, the passions, alcohol and kissing. Burton believed that reading was a cure for melancholy, and so the book itself - one of the most unique and uncategorizable works of all time - can be seen as a tonic for the very condition it describes. Author Biography Robert Burton (1577-1640) spent most of his life in Oxford, first as a student and later as a scholar. His most famous work, the enormous Anatomy of Melancholy, was first published in 1621 and expanded in further editions throughout Burtons life.Angus Gowland is a Reader in Intellectual History at University College London.
