The Melancholy Assemblage: Affect and Epistemology in the English Renaissance
ISBN: 9780823251285 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Tilting the English Renaissance against the present moment, Daniel argues that the basic disciplinary tension between medicine and philosophy persists within contemporary debates about emotional embodiment.
