Book Synopsis The Dark Side of Genius by : Laurinda S. Dixon
Book excerpt: Examines "melancholia" as a philosophical, medical, and social phenomenon in early modern art. Argues that, despite advances in art and science, the topos of the dispirited intellectual continues to function metaphorically as a locus for society's fears and tensions.
