Language has always been used as a measure of social, ideological,
and psychological contexts for the exploration of madness. The
Madhouse of Language considers the relations between madness and
language from the late seventeenth to early nineteenth centuries,
focusing on the close analysis of both medical records and texts by
mad writers. It presents a highly original account of the
linguistic relations between madness and sanity, of the
appropriation by sane writers of the forms of English, and of
attempts by mad patients to gain access to the expressive potential
of language.
