Anatomy Of Melancholy Volume 3

Anatomy of Melancholy Volume 3

by Robert Burton

The Anatomy of Melancholy is a unique and multifaceted work that explores the nature of human emotion and thought through the lens of melancholia. Drawing on a vast array of sources, Burton creates a sprawling and digressive text that touches on everything from digestion to goblins, the geography of America, and much more. While presented as a medical textbook, the Anatomy is as much a literary masterpiece as it is a scientific one, and its characteristic voice and wide-ranging scope have made it a beloved work for centuries.
