| Description: |
This concluding volume contains commentary on the Third Partition, which considers Love and Religious Melancholy. As before, the aim is to give as much help as possible to the modern reader, including translations of all Latin quotations. A 'Biobibliographical' index to the whole Anatomy is provided, giving brief details of the lives and works of the 1550 writers cited by Burton, together with an index of the major topics discussed. |
| Synopsis: |
This, the final volume of the Clarendon Press edition of Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, contains commentary on the Third Partition, in which Burton considers two especial forms of the disease, Love and Religious Melancholy. In treating of these Burton had fewer precedents to follow than in previous sections, but he was able to draw largely on his extensive knowledge of classical literature and also on his acquaintance with English drama and poetry (including popular verse). As ever his range of reference to other authors is wide, and the volume includes an index which gives biographical and bibliographical information concerning the more than 1550 authorities cited in the Anatomy, most of whom are little known today. Also included are an index of the major topics discussed in the Anatomy, and a complete bibliography of all the works mentioned in the commentary. |
