This is one of the first books to comprehensively explore
representations of madness in postwar British and American Fiction.
The five authors come from diverse backgrounds - literary studies,
social psychology, medical psychiatry and psychiatric nursing - and
as such the book's perspectives are informed through several
discourses, making it a unique co-authored text in the discipline
of Health Humanities. The book looks at representations of madness
in a range of texts by postwar writers (such as Ken Kesey, Marge
Piercy, Patrick McGrath, Leslie Marmon Silko, William Golding,
Patrick Gale, William Burroughs and J.G. Ballard, to name a few),
and explores the ways in which these representations help to shape
public perceptions and experiences of mental disorder.
