Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. One of the major documents of modern European civilization, Robert Burton's astounding compendium, a survey of melancholy in all its myriad forms, has invited nothing but superlatives since its publication in the seventeenth century. Lewellyn Powys called it "the greatest work of prose of the greatest period of English prose-writing," while the celebrated surgeon William Osler declared it the greatest of medical treatises. And Dr. Johnson, Boswell reports, said it was the only book that he rose early in the morning to read with pleasure. In this surprisingly compact and elegant new edition, Burton's spectacular verbal labyrinth is sure to delight, instruct, and divert today's readers as much as it has those of the past four centuries. One of the major documents of modern European civilization, Robert Burton's astounding compendium, a survey of melancholy in all its myriad forms, has invited nothing but superlatives since its publication in the seventeenth century.

Paper Back. Condizione: New. It is a curiosity, a marvel. It is singular. It attempts to catalog the ills -- spiritual, mental, and physical -- of mankind, diagnosing them in terms drawn from the author's prodigious mastery of several millennia of classical literary heritage. It is Johnsonian in this regard (and Johnson himself is reported to have said that The Anatomy, published in 1621, was ''the only book that ever took him out of bed two hours sooner than he wished to rise''-- high praise indeed), humbly depending on a catena of earlier authors to describe any subject at hand. If you ask us if we have read its 1382 pages through, we will again quote Dr. Johnson and reply, ''we have looked into it.do you read books through?'' Whether you ''look into it'' or ''read it through,'' we guarantee vastly more than your money's worth of eloquence, humor, and imaginative nourishment. Includes two introductions (notable in their own right) and the Greek and Latin notes of Burton's original text.

Trade Paperback. Condizione: Fine. Brand new from publisher. Minimal wear to corners. An excellent copy. 2001 Trade Paperback. xxx, 523, 312, 547 pp. A facsimile of the third edition, edited with an introduction by Holbrook Jackson, and with a new introduction by William H. Gass. The Anatomy of Melancholy is a book by Robert Burton, first published in 1621, but republished five more times over the next seventeen years with massive alterations and expansions. On its surface, the book is presented as a medical textbook in which Burton applies his vast and varied learning, in the scholastic manner, to the subject of melancholia (which includes, although it is not limited to, what is now termed clinical depression). Although presented as a medical text, The Anatomy of Melancholy is as much a sui generis (unique) work of literature as it is a scientific or philosophical text, and Burton addresses far more than his stated subject. In fact, the Anatomy uses melancholy as the lens through which all human emotion and thought may be scrutinized, and virtually the entire contents of a 17th-century library are marshalled into service of this goal. It is encyclopedic in its range and reference. In his satirical preface to the reader, Burton's persona and pseudonym 'Democritus Junior' explains, 'I write of melancholy by being busy to avoid melancholy.' This is characteristic of the author's style, which often supersedes the book's strengths as a medical text or historical document as its main source of appeal to admirers. Both satirical and serious in tone, the Anatomy is 'vitalized by (Burton's) pervading humour,' and Burton's digressive and inclusive style, often verging on a stream of consciousness, consistently informs and animates the text. In addition to the author's techniques, the Anatomy's vast breadth - addressing topics such as digestion, goblins, the geography of America, and others - make it a valuable contribution to multiple research disciplines.
