 In January 2013, I re-imagined Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy (1621) by collecting every tweet mentioning the word melancholy. This January, I'm repeating the exercise but with a difference. Book I was compiled retrospectively using a search engine, and copy and paste. Book II will unfold in real time via the Twitter feed of Democritus Junior, a pseudonym used by Burton. Follow him to see what melancholy means in 2014. Posts begin at midnight.
