This book consists of nine chapters devoted to representations of
melancholia in 19th-century art and literature. A noteworthy
feature of the book is its use of concepts from later works by
Sigmund Freud, Jean Clair, Jean Starobinski, Julia Kristeva and
others. Those concepts elucidate further contexts of the notion of
melancholia, which are presented not in isolation but juxtaposed
with the philosophical background of the concept (starting from
Hippocrates and Aristotle). Thus, the book not only provides a
survey of images and modes of behaviour of 19th-century
individuals, but also discusses the meanings of melancholia as they
appeared in European culture over time.
