Cultural Constructions of Madness in the Eighteenth Century deals
with the (mis)representation of insanity through a substantial
range of literary forms and figures from across the eighteenth
century and beyond. Chapters cover the representation, distortion,
sentimentalization and elevation of insanity, and such associated
issues as gender, personal identity, and performance, in some of
the best, as well as some of the least, known writers of the
period. A selection of visual material, including works by Hogarth,
Rowlandson, and Gillray, is also discussed. While primarily
adopting a literary focus, the work is informed throughout by an
alertness to significant issues of medical and psychiatric history.
