Publisher's Synopsis

Burton's 'Anatomy of Melancholy' is one of the great but unclassifiable prose works in English literature: frustrated at the stagnant, disorderly society he found himself, he became convinced that the problems of England lay in its inclination to melancholy. This short collection chooses passages from this seminal work and presents Burton's ideas in an easily accessible way.
