Passion and Pathology in Victorian Fiction (Hardcover)

In what was once described as "the century of nerves", a
fascination with the mysterious processes governing physical and
psychological states was shared by medical and fiction writers
alike. This study offers an integrated analysis of how medicine and
literature figured the connection between the body and the mind.
Alongside detailed examinations of some of the century's most
influential neurological and physiological theories, Jane Wood
brings readings of both major and relatively neglected fictions - a
range which includes work by Charlotte Bronte and George MacDonald,
George Eliot and Wilkie Collins, Thomas Hardy and George Gissing.
Stepping into an already lively area of interdisciplinary debate,
Passion and Pathology is distinguished by its recognition of the
intellectual and imaginative force of both discourses: it extends
our understanding of the interaction between science and literature
in the wider culture of the period.
