Two developments during the modernist period - the consolidation of
psychiatry as a medical speciality and the emergence of
psychoanalysis - affected the representation of madness in
literature. They also influenced the ways psychic distress was
experienced, narrated, and understood. Literature and criticism in
turn affected the formation of the modern psychological self.
Presenting detailed readings of both canonical and non-canonical
modernists like Virginia Woolf and Emily Holmes Coleman, this book
argues that modernist madness can be understood as experience,
clinical discourse and cultural representation.
