Melancolía y cultura
las enfermedades del alma en la España del Siglo de Oro
Bartra, Roger
Melancholy, which runs through the history of the world to this day, is one of the fundamental axes of Renaissance and Baroque culture, and permeates the works of authors such as Shakespeare or Montaigne. Essayists such as Panofsky, Kristeva or Starobinski have studied it from different angles, but they pay little or no attention to its relevance in the Spanish Golden Age. It is precisely in this period and setting that Roger Bartra focuses his attention. The result is this important essay that shows melancholy as the foundation stone of modern culture and analyzes its emergence in the Spain of the Golden Age as a key to understanding the spectacular enlightened, romantic and existential expressions in the Europe of the 18th, 19th and 19th centuries. XX. The book is an immersion in the diseases of the Spanish baroque soul, and discovers the strange flowers that grow from that melancholic tree. The anthropological gaze of the author also allows us to follow pilgrims and walkers to discover in Don Quixote the mutations that made the myth of melancholy an essential part of modernity. In this new edition of the essay, the author has decided to reorder the texts that compose it to improve their readability and coherence.
