Description:

Although Montaigne achieved a balance that made him a model humanist thinker, his temperament was sanguine-melancholic. Screech reassesses the Essais, showing how Montaigne steered his melancholy into appropriate psychological channels, seeking a balance of body and soul as a means to avoid madness.
