Description
This scholarly work by Routledge explores melancholy as a central concern in early modern culture, examining extensive discussions from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century religious and moral philosophical publications. The book offers fresh perspectives on how melancholy was understood as both a disease of the soul and a bodily condition, drawing on sources that have received limited scholarly attention. Designed for historians of medicine, literature, psychiatry and religion, it considerably advances understanding of this complex topic by integrating religious, philosophical and medical interpretations of melancholy during a critical period in Western thought and medical history.

Integrates perspectives from medicine, literature, psychiatry and religious history to provide comprehensive analysis.
