I am thrilled to be bringing you this conversation with Emily Betz (@Emily_E_Betz). Emily is a cultural historian with a focus on the history of medicine, here we discuss her work on early modern melancholia. Emily also takes us through perceptions of this elusive decease over time and I wonder why it became known as 'the english decease'. Enjoy!
