Robert Burton 1577-1640 went to Oxford in 1593 and never left possibly due to his bouts of depression. He wrote on the subject of melancholy to relieve his own mind of its burden and over the years put together the first psychiatric encyclopedia in the English language. Burton's satirical and discursive Anatomy analyses the causes symptoms and cures of melancholy bolstered by a wide range of quotations and is a literary as well as medical classic. First published in 1621 the book was reprinted with revisions three times during Burton's lifetime and numerous times since. It was a favorite of Dr. Johnson another sufferer of depression who told Boswell that this was "the only book that ever took him out of bed two hours sooner than he wished to rise.".

réf. blb05698Good. Two Volumes of the Original Two Volume Set - Conditions the same for both unless noted: Leather quarter-bound to spine and corners over marbled paper on boards. Gilt lettering and tooling to spine. Books are tight square and free of major flaws or markings although edges and corners are worn with age and use text block edges are browned and gilt to spine is moderately faded. Interior is clean with only minor spotting throughout. Volume I has a gift inscription on ffep - A.R. Thurlow from L.F.B. in hope that his ___ may be hereby improved Oct 19th 1900. 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. hardcover
