Review

"This is an illuminating study of The Anatomy of Melancholy that, while it recognizes the eccentricities of Burton's book, succeeds brilliantly in locating the Anatomy in its cultural moment." Samuel Glen Wong, Renaissance Quarterly

"This is Angus Gowland's first book, which is surprising, since it is stunningly good...this is a very fine book deserving a place close to the works of Fritz Saxl, Erin Panofsky, and Rudolf and Margot Wittkower." Winfried Schleiner, American Historical Review

"Of all the new books published this year, I confess to learning the most from this one, and appreciating it accordingly...required reading for all serious seventeenth century scholars." Catherine Gimelli Martin, University of Memphis, Studies in English Literature

Book Description

Approaching the Anatomy of Melancholy as the culmination of early modern medical, philosophical and spiritual inquiry about melancholy, Gowland examines how Robert Burton exploited the moral psychology central to the Renaissance understanding of the condition to construct a critical vision of his intellectual and political environment.
