Download or read book The Perils of Melancholy written by Christine Soltis and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-08-17 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vent your inner frustrations while reading verses of emotions that sometimes fall upon us like a shadow in the night. Excess darkness, fear and indecision can break into the spirit and try to overwhelm with its greed. Thankfully, we can capture these feelings, these moments in the moment and then discard and defeat them thereafter. Melancholy is a dangerous gloom, a good friend of depression. It is quiet, sulking and at times, undiagnosed. We must understand the perils, the dangers of living with the transitory feeling of melancholy. And we must always defeat it. When going into this collection of dark verses ranging from 2007-2009, understand them, but do not intercept. The whole reason to read of these feelings is to be informed so that you will know when it afflicts you, to let it go- to just let it pass by. Read, enjoy, grasp...then let it go. Tread lightly on the peril. Written and Edited By Christine Soltis Copyright © 2009 First Edition
Download or read book The Ink of Melancholy written by André Bleikasten and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-31 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ink of Melancholy re-examines and re-evaluates William Faulkner's work from the late 1920s to the early 1940s, one of his most creative periods. Rather than approach Faulkner's fiction through a prefabricated grid, André Bleikasten concentrates on the texts themselves—on the motivations and circumstances of their composition, on the rich array of their themes, structures, textures, points of emphasis and repetition, as well as their rifts and gaps—while drawing on the resources of philosophy, psychoanalysis, anthropology. Brilliant in its thought and argument, Ink of Melancholy is one of the most insightful and stimulating studies of Faulkner's work.

Download or read book Mystical Bedlam written by Michael MacDonald and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1981-08-31 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mystical Bedlam explores the social history of insanity of early seventeenth-century England by means of a detailed analysis of the records of Richard Napier, a clergyman and astrological physician, who treated over 2000 mentally disturbed patients between 1597 and 1634. Napier's clients were drawn from every social rank and his therapeutic techniques included all the types of psychological healing practised at the time. His vivid descriptions of his clients' afflictions and complaints illuminate the thoughts and feelings of ordinary people. This book goes beyond simply analysing mental disorder in a seventeenth-century astrological and medical practice. It reveals contemporary attitudes towards family life, describes the appeal of witchcraft and demonology to ordinary villagers, and explains the social and intellectual basis for the eclectic blend of scientific, magical, and religious therapies practised before the English Revolution. Not only is it a contribution to the history of medicine but also a survey of some of the darkest regions of the mental world of the English people of the seventeenth century.

Download or read book Melancholy and Culture written by Roger Bartra and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "During the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, texts on melancholy began to circulate in Europe aimed at the general reading public and not purely for specialists in mental illness. The first book on melancholy written in vernacular language was the Libro de la melancholia by Spanish doctor Andres Velasquez. This book takes his work as a starting point from which to study the broad panorama of melancholy in Spain in the period and goes on to examine the importance of melancholy in Cervantes' Don Quixote and also examines the criticisms directed at Velasquez's work by Dr. Juan Huarte de San Juan in the Examen de ingenios para las ciencias (known in English as 'Triall of Wits')." "Roger Bartra's history explores the relation between culture and melancholy, using as his framework the notion that culture is not the antidote against the chaos of melancholy, or that the culture of melancholy can be studied in isolation; rather that he sees culture as melancholy, and melancholy as culture."--Jacket.

Download or read book The Science of Sadness written by David Huron and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-05-07 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible, scientific account of grief, melancholy, and nostalgia in human life and their broader lessons for understanding emotions in general. The Science of Sadness proposes an original scientific account of grief, melancholy, and nostalgia, advocating a unique ethological approach to these familiar, woeful emotions. One of the leading scholars in the psychology of music and music cognition, David Huron draws on hundreds of studies from physiology, medicine, neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and the arts to resolve long-standing problems that have stymied modern emotion research. A careful examination of sadness-related behaviors reveals their biological and social functions, which Huron uses to formulate a new theory about how emotions in general are displayed and interpreted. We’ve all shed tears of joy, tears of grief, tears of pain. While different emotions often share the same weepy display, Huron identifies the single function that unites them. He suggests how weeping emerged over the course of human evolution, explores the contrasting cultural manifestations of sadness, and chronicles humanity’s changing interpretations of sadness over time. Huron also explains the various ways cultures recruit and reshape involuntary emotional displays for different social purposes, and he offers a compelling narrative of what makes tragic arts so appealing. Though sadness is typically regarded as the very antithesis of happiness, The Science of Sadness draws attention to the important roles that grief, melancholy, and nostalgia play in human well-being.
