Drawing on medicine, philosophy, literature and theology, Burton investigates the causes, symptoms and possible treatments of melancholy. The work is remarkable for its enormous range of quotations, digressions and observations, making it both a medical curiosity and a literary masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn very good overall condition.
