Neo-Victorian Madness: Rediagnosing Nineteenth-Century Mental
Illness in Literature and Other Media investigates contemporary
fiction, cinema and television shows set in the Victorian period
that depict mad murderers, lunatic doctors, social dis/ease and
madhouses as if many Victorians were "mad." Such portraits demand a
"rediagnosing" of mental illness that was often reduced to only
female hysteria or a general malaise in nineteenth-century
renditions. This collection of essays explores questions of
neo-Victorian representations of moral insanity, mental illness,
disturbed psyches or non-normative imaginings as well as considers
the important issues of legal righteousness, social responsibility
or methods of restraint and corrupt incarcerations. The chapters
investigate the self-conscious re-visions, legacies and lessons of
nineteenth-century discourses of madness and/or those persons
presumed mad rediagnosed by present-day (neo-Victorian)
representations informed by post-nineteenth-century psychological
insights.
