At the end of November we held a mini conference entitled The Anatomy of Melancholy: A Users Guide at Warwick Arts Centre as part of the process for our staging of this huge 17th century book which details all then known causes, symptoms and cures for all kinds of melancholy.

Talks from the conference are now available as a podcast via Itunes HERE

Talks include:
Dr. Erin Sullivan ‘Burton’s Melancholic Contexts: Medicine, Religion, Politics, Literature’
Dr. Mary Ann Lund ‘The Anatomy of Melancholy: A Self-Help book?’
Prof. Bernard Capp ‘Melancholy, tears and gender in early modern England’
Prof. Mark Knights ‘Utopias’
Lee Hassal ‘An Exorcism and Cartography of The Monstrous and Melancholic’
Rev. Wendy Brown ‘Melancholy and the Church’
Dr. Sarah Marks ‘Burton and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy’
