During the so-called "Age of Melancholy," many writers invoked both
traditional and new conceptualizations of the disease in order to
account for various types of social turbulence, ranging from
discontent and factionalism to civil war. Writing about melancholy
became a way to explore both the causes and preventions of
political disorder, on both specific and abstract levels. Thus, at
one and the same moment, a writer could write about melancholy to
discuss specific and ongoing political crises and to explore more
generally the principles which generate political conflicts in the
first place. In the course of developing a traditional discourse of
melancholy of its own, English writers appropriated representations
of the disease - often ineffectively - in order to account for the
political turbulence during the civil war and Interregnum periods.
