Ink of Melancholy
29.99 €
This collection of works by Jean Starobinsky (born 1920), a prominent Swiss philologist and historian of ideas, is united by the theme of melancholy as a fact of European culture. The author traces the history of melancholy from antiquity to the twentieth century, looking both at the tradition of medical study and treatment of melancholic disorders and at literary practice based on the creative reinterpretation of melancholic experience. Among the writers and poets whose works are analyzed from this perspective are Virgil, Ovid, Charles of Orleans, Miguel de Cervantes, Robert Burton, Carlo Gozzi, E.-T.-A. Hoffmann, Germaine de Stahl, Søren Kierkegaard, Charles Baudelaire, Pierre-Jean Jouve, Roger Caillois, Osip Mandelstam, and many others.
