The Essential Anatomy of Melancholy (Dover Books on Literature & Drama)

1 review
Robert Burton

Dover Publications, 2002

Brief Anatomy
This is a nice, truncated version of a book many find unreadable today. If you wish a taste of Burton, an idea of his odd brilliance, this will do. The editors choose some nice portions. Unfortunately, reading a brief version is a bit like a Reader's Digest version of 'War and Peace' or some other novel where detail, conversation, the finely drawn characters are the story. You may have the plot ...

Vivisect your mind
Where to begin discussing this book? How about again and again? For it begs never to be put down, and if finished (as if that's even possible) to be picked up again and pored over. Again. And again. And again . . . It got Samuel Jonson out of bed earlier than he wished. It kept me up later than I wished, and still "reading" it in my mind over and over again, musing on the insanity of it - the ...

It's Not What You Know it's Whether You Really Know It
I think my title above gets to the substance of Dr. Burton's narrative. How do we know what we know? Dr. Burton posits that the feeling of knowing is a necessary biological function required to allow humans to contemplate thought and take action. In other words, there has to be some reward for a person to think about and know what they are concluding and this reward comes in the feelings of ...

Bird Behavior

Robert Burton, Bruce Campbell

Knopf, 1985

International scope
A real strength of this book is its broad scope; both in range of species, and in wide range geographically. Within a few pages there will pictures of the vulturine guinea fowl, the white-breasted nuthatch, and a red-throated diver (loon). The pictures are spectacular, whether it is wandering albatross courtship, an upside-down emperor bird-of-paradise, or a common bee-eater offering his ...

A lucky find!
If there's one thing Lucky Larry has always wanted out of life, it's to make it big in the mystery world as a writer. The fact that he's harboring six completed manuscripts in his desk drawer, and is hard at work on the seventh, only further proves that. Unfortunately, agents aren't knocking down his door, and a publishing contract just doesn't seem to be in the cards for him. That is, until ...

a good supplement to any backyard birder's library
This revised edtion will make an excellent gift for the beginning or intermediate backyard birder. Photographic plates thoughout serve as good visual aids.
