About
An exploration of the vital distinctions Renaissance writers made between grief, godly sorrow, despair, and melancholy, and the unique interactions these emotions were thought to produce in the mind, body, and soul, 'Beyond Melancholy' demonstrates the value of an inclusive and interdisciplinary approach to the study of the emotional past.
