This book offers an in-depth analysis as to how and why women have
been widely associated with madness since ancient times. The first
part of the book comprises a historical survey of various
perceptions of madness across the centuries, while the second part
of the book covers a wide selection of literary works by American
and English writers who dealt with this subject in their works. In
this part of the book, the authors examine selected works of
literature from a feminist perspective by also drawing on the works
of influential theorists of feminist criticism. The authors further
show how these writers, who have been influenced by various
philosophers and theoreticians, critically examine women's madness
in their fiction.
