Series Statement:
Routledge research in art history
Content:
This book explores the history and continuing relevance of melancholia as an amorphous but richly suggestive theme in literature, music, and visual culture, as well as philosophy and the history of ideas. Inspired by Albrecht Drer's engraving Melencolia I (1514)--the first visual representation of artistic melancholy--this volume brings together contributions by scholars from a variety of disciplines. Topics include: Melencolia I and its reception; how melancholia inhabits landscapes, soundscapes, figures and objects; melancholia in medical and psychological contexts; how melancholia both enables and troubles artistic creation; and Sigmund Freud's essay "Mourning and Melancholia" (1917).
Note:
Most of the papers were presented at a symposium and public lecture series organized in conjunction with the 2014 exhibition, Five Centuries of Melancholia, held at The University of Queensland Art Museum in Brisbane, Australia.
