How are signs and symptoms of psychic alienation variously
enfigured in literary texts? And how do readers invariably figure
in some form of the 'madness' they attempt to figure out? These are
some of the questions addressed by Figuring Madness , a study which
employs the insights of current post-structuralist psychoanalysis
and semiotic theory to examine the complex interimplication of the
subject and object of madness that is always implied by the
dynamics of analytic dia-gnosis. In its focus on the implications
of writing and reading signs of madness, the study offers new
interpretations of both canonical and non-canonical texts by
authors spanning the period from Jane Austen and Anthony Trollope
to Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Henry James.
