About this product

Product Information

One of the major documents of modern European civilization, Robert Burton's astounding compendium, a survey of melancholy in all its myriad forms, has invited nothing but superlatives since its publication in the seventeenth century. Lewellyn Powys called it "the greatest work of prose of the greatest period of English prose-writing," while the celebrated surgeon William Osler declared it the greatest of medical treatises. And Dr. Johnson, Boswell reports, said it was the only book that he rose early in the morning to read with pleasure. In this surprisingly compact and elegant new edition, Burton's spectacular verbal labyrinth is sure to delight, instruct, and divert today's readers as much as it has those of the past four centuries.

  • Quite simply, the finest book ever written

    The title comes from the Nicholas Lezard "Guardian" review. I totally concur. I have been terrified of the "Anatomy" and its 1400 pages of intense text for 15 years, but after finally opening and reading parts of it,I got hooked! It is an absolutely fabulous explanation of emotional symptomatology, but much more than that, it is a treatise on sociology, religion, politics, sex, literature, and physical geography, pretty much everything known in the 17th Century (and it is amazing how much they knew!)What is very nice about this particular version is its usability. I own 6 copies, from 1632 forward, at varying prices, but all are a bit delicate, due to age, and the way a 1000 page book is clumsy and cannot endure too much punishment. This copy is extremely well bound, opens well, doesn't ...

  • Enduring classic!

    A great reading adventure!
