This interdisciplinary study examines the enigmatic category of
psychosomatic disorders as articulated in medical writings and
represented in literary works of the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. Six key works are analyzed: Hawthorne's The Scarlet
Letter, Emile Zola's Therese Raquin, Thomas Mann's Buddenbrooks,
Arthur Miller's Broken Glass, Brian O'Doherty's The Strange Case of
Mademoiselle P., and Pat Barker's Regeneration. Each is a case
study in detection as the hidden sources of bodily ills are
uncovered in intra- or interpersonal conflicts such as guilt,
family tensions, and marital discord.
