OK, I'll exempt you. "The Anatomy of Melancholy" is a 900 page mumbled rant, anyway. It doesn't seem suggestive of the inspiration and enlightenment of the late Renaissance. IIN attacks melancholy thru the awareness of perverse wit. Too bad Robert Burton is not here to log in.

democritusjr is actually a reference to Robert Burton, the author of "The Anatomy of Melancholy." 'Democritus Junior' was his pen name.
