Burton was an English churchman and a scholar, and his depth and breadth of knowledge is readily apparent in this inexhaustible book. Through the frame of a medical treatise, Burton begins with melancholy and slowly deals with various mental states, frequently digressing with commentary from a myriad of other fields, including history, literature, psychology, astronomy, and theology. Though he quotes medical experts from Hippocrates and Aristotle to many medieval authorities, Burton just as often includes Latin poetry in a manner bordering on a stream of consciousness. Through this plethora of references on the human condition, as well as Burton's alternately serious and satirical tone, "The Anatomy of Melancholy" eloquently portrays the whole of human knowledge up to its day in a charming and imaginative way that will allow this work to endure as a classic of the English language. In this edition we have the second of three volumes.Hide synopsis

i ordered the anatomy of melancholy and instead received what appeared to be a summary with incomprehensible breaks and typos. i am not sure what the point of printing that is.

We all inhabit our own little world, peering out of it, wondering if others feel the same joys or pains. Readers probably tend to be a introverted group, and I suspect many somtimes feel suffering in their own inward eye. What a palliative then to hear a sister voice discoursing on how to avoid or ...
