Melancholy Discourse in the Baroque - Liliana barczyk-Barakońska [KSIĄŻKA]

Barczyk-Barakońska very precisely defines the scope of her research interests whose focal point is not the, if one may term it so, essence of Burton`s work, reffering us to the state of early seventeenth-century medicine, but exclusively the way of writing, or rather the ecriture of the essayist [...] who multiplies masks, resorts to a heteronym (as Kirkegaard and Pessoa will later do), ordains a departure from the torture of thinking to language, citation and an erudite reference.
