    Argues that Shakespeare transforms philosophies of comedy and melancholy by revising them concomitantlyIconic as Hamlet is, Shakespearean comedy showcases an extraordinary reliance on melancholy that ultimately reminds us of the porous demarcation between laughter and sorrow. This richly contextualized study of Shakespeare's comic engagement with sadness contends that the playwright rethinks melancholy through comic theatre and conversely, re-theorizes comedy through melancholy. In fashioning his own comic interpretation of the humour, Shakespeare distils an impressive array of philosophical discourses on the matter, from Aristotle to Robert Burton and as a result, transforms the theoretical afterlife of both notions. The book suggests that the deceptively potent sorrow at the core of plays such as The Comedy of Errors, Twelfth Night, or The Winter's Tale influences modern accounts of melancholia elaborated by Sigmund Freud, Judith Butler, and others. What's so funny about melancholy in Shakespearean comedy? It might just be its reminder that, behind roaring laughter, one inevitably finds the subtle pangs of melancholy. Key FeaturesOffers new readings of nine Shakespearean comedies centred on their extensive, interconnected treatments of melancholyUnderscores Shakespeare's significant revisions of philosophical discourses on melancholy, both classical and early modern, while tailoring the concept to specific comic purposesArgues that the particular sense of melancholy that Shakespeare develops throughout his comic canon informs later theorizations of melancholia and related concepts in psychoanalysis, performance studies and affect theoryContributes to the ongoing interdisciplinary critical effort to deepen our understanding of the nature, history and impact of melancholy on Western culture by drawing particular attention to its conflation of emotional and artistic overtones

    Brenner's place in the Hebrew story tradition is a place of shadows. A place of others, grief and hard truth. Both in the short and charged plot of his life and in his literary work, he is Melancholy, the Black Martha of Hebrew literature. Brenner's stories express the taga of things. Their roots come from the depth of the Hebrew word, from the heart of the enterprise and the Zionist dream, as well as from the history of the modes of melancholic expression: the message of the degree of sorrow in existence. In melancholic poetics lies the complexity, explosiveness, complexity and sublimity of the Bernari text. In The Poetry of the Nerves, Yonatan Dayan speaks of melancholy as a human and literary quality, as an existential condition and as a way of expression. These guide his reading in Brenner's melancholic expression as a harbinger of sorrow, as a knower of flaw and error, and this in a past tense that is being renewed as a world language, and from its renewal it announces its loss. But what is the nature of the message and what is unique about this Brenner - whose literature is written as an expression of loss, the lamented Brenner - the author demands in many midrashims from world and Hebrew literature; From the myth of the melancholic Saturn, from the teachings of Hippocrates, from Aristotle's mistakes, from the poets of the Psalms, from Robert Burton's letters, from Walter Benjamin's theory of the Toga play, from Freud's pathologies and many others. All of these merge when reading Brenner's works: "In Winter", "Around the Point", "Nerves", "From Here and Here" and "Bereavement and Failure"; They lead to the laggards, the spirits of the past restrained by the power of the text, which work in it and even activate it, as words of poetry, poetry of nerves - the lament of the new Hebrew literature.' -- from the back cover. -- online translation

    Prior to the reintroduction of classical medical treatises through Arab authors into European cultures, mental disorders and bodily diseases were primarily attributed to moral corruption, demonic influence and superstition. This book explores the intersection between medicine and literature in medieval Iberian literature and culture. Its overarching argument is that thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Iberian authors revalorized the interconnection between the body, the mind, and the soul in light of the evolving epistemology of medicine.

    A detailed study of John Keats's classic volume of poetry published in 1820 considered in the light of the history of melancholyFirst, book-length critical study of John Keats's collection of poems, Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St Agnes, And Other Poems (1820)Considers the anthology as a poetically and thematically unified collection, instead of the more usual method of analyzing the poems in chronological order of writingProposes that the main theme running through the volume is melancholy, a very capacious medical category extending back to ancient Greco-Roman writers, through the Renaissance, and the subject of literary cults in the Romantic ageThe first detailed study of Keats's markings and annotations on his copy of Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy (1621) which was his favourite book during 1819 when he was writing the poemsThis book examines John Keats's immensely important collection of poems, Lamia, Isabella, The Eve of St Agnes, And Other Poems (1820), and is published in the volume's bicentenary. It analyses the collection as an authorially organised and multi-dimensionally unified volume rather than as a collection of occasional poems. R. S. White argues that a guiding theme behind the 1820 volume is the persistent emphasis on different types of melancholy, an ancient, all-consuming medical condition and literary preoccupation in Renaissance and Romantic poetry. Melancholy was a lifelong interest of Keats's, touching on his medical training, his temperament and his delighted reading in 1819 of Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy
