Description

Explore the deep connection between mental health and spirituality in early modern England with this scholarly work from Routledge. Melancholy and the Care of the Soul examines how seventeenth- and eighteenth-century religious and moral philosophical publications addressed this complex condition. While often viewed through a medical lens, this book reveals how many contemporary thinkers saw melancholy as a disease of the soul alongside its physical origins. This text provides a fresh perspective for historians of medicine, literature, psychiatry, and religion. By analyzing publications that have received little attention from modern scholars, the book expands our understanding of how madness and morality were linked in past centuries. It is an essential resource for those studying the history of medicine in context and the evolution of psychological thought within religious frameworks.
