'Anatomy of Melancholy Volume 2' Summary
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. The book is full of rich and detailed descriptions of the symptoms of melancholy, as well as Burton's own personal experiences with the condition. Burton also provides a wealth of information on the history of melancholy, as well as the various treatments that were available in his time. Despite its晦涩难懂and often rambling style, The Anatomy of Melancholy is a fascinating and informative work that provides a unique insight into the mind of a brilliant and eccentric scholar.Book Details
