Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy is a massive and digressive work that explores the nature of melancholy, a condition that Burton believed was caused by an imbalance of the four humors.

Burton also provides a wealth of information on the history of melancholy, as well as the various treatments that were available in his time.
