CONTENT & INFLUENCE Much of Anatomy was inspired by Burton's own struggles with depression. Anatomy starts with a roughly 200-page-long satirical introduction "Democritus to the Reader" narrated by Burton's pseudonym Democritus Junior. The main body of the book is divided into three partitions. The first partition is The Causes of Melancholy the second partition is The Cure of Melancholy and the third partition is Love-Melancholy and Religious Melancholy. The book regularly quotes biblical ancient and medieval medical authorities and literary sources. The Anatomy of Melancholy inspired countless writers of the following centuries including Samuel Johnson John Milton and Laurence Sterne and modern authors like Philip Pullman. Romantic poet John Keats claimed Anatomy was his favorite book. Burton's numerous anecdotes which tackle melancholy with both sobriety and humor as well as the overarching influence of his personal sadness on the book are often cited as making Anatomy his one truly great work. .

The Anatomy of Melancholy Full title The Anatomy of Melancholy What it is: With all the Kinds Causes Symptomes Prognostickes and Several Cures of it. In Three Maine Partitions with their several Sections Members and Subsections. Philosophically Historically Opened and Cut up. is a book written by Robert Burton which was first published 1621. The book is on its surface a medical textbook in which Burton applies his large and varied learning in the Scholastic manner to the subject of melancholia. Each section piles on ancient and mediæval medical authorities from Hippocrates Aristotle and Galen forward and adds to these ancient examples a great deal of Latin poetry. Burton defines his subject this way: Melancholy the subject of our present discourse is either in disposition or in habit. In disposition is that transitory Melancholy which goes and comes upon every small occasion of sorrow need sickness trouble fear grief passion or perturbation of the mind any manner of care discontent or thought which causes anguish dulness heaviness and vexation of spirit any ways opposite to pleasure mirth joy delight causing frowardness in us or a dislike. In which equivocal and improper sense we call him melancholy that is dull sad sour lumpish ill-disposed solitary any way moved or displeased. And from these melancholy dispositions no man living is free no Stoick none so wise none so happy none so patient so generous so godly so divine that can vindicate himself; so well-composed but more or less some time or other he feels the smart of it. Melancholy in this sense is the character of Mortality.This Melancholy of which we are to treat is a habit a serious ailment a settled humour as Aurelianus and others call it not errant but fixed: and as it was long increasing so now being pleasant or painful grown to a habit it will hardly be removed. Over the course of the book Burton draws from nearly every science of his day including psychology physiology astronomy astrology demonology meteorology and theology. In fact much of the book consists of quotations from various authorities and Burton fills the Anatomy with more or less pertinent references to the works of others. The Anatomy of Melancholy is a particularly lengthy book. The first edition printed as a single quarto volume was nearly 900 pages long and subsequent editions only added to that total. The text is partitioned into three major sections plus an introduction each arranged in Burton's sprawling style. characteristically the introduction includes not only an author's note titled "Democritus Junior to the Reader" but also a Latin poem "Democritus Junior to His Book" a warning to "The Reader Who Employs His Leisure Ill" an abstract of the following text and another poem explaining the frontispiece. The following three sections proceed in a similarly exhaustive fashion: the first section focuses on the causes and symptoms of "common" melancholies while the second section deals with cures for melancholy and the third section explores more complex and esoteric melancholies including the melancholy of lovers and all varieties of religious melancholies. The Anatomy concludes with an extensive index which many years later The New York Times Book Review called "a readerly pleasure in itself".; additionally most modern editions of the book are supplemented with many pages of explanatory notes for the reader. Throughout the book Burton's digressive and inclusive style often verging on a stream of consciousness consistently informs and animates the text. Though nominally a medical book the Anatomy is "vitalized by Burton's pervading humour" and is as much a sui generis work of literature as it is a scientific or philosophical text. The Anatomy of Melancholy has been admired by many subsequent writers from Samuel Johnson Charles Lamb and John Keats who professed it to be his favourite book to Stanley Fish Philip Pullman and Jorge Luis Borges who used a quote as an epigraph to his story "The Library of Babel". Despite its age The Anatomy of Melancholy is still considered an enduring if eccentric literary classic by many modern critics. UncleAndy. Seventh Edition. Half Calf Leather.
