| Zusammenfassung: | Love's Madness is an important new contribution to the interdisciplinary study of insanity. Focusing on the figure of the love-mad woman, Helen Small presents a significant reassessment of the ways in which British medical writers and novelists of the nineteenth century thought about madness, about femininity, and about narrative convention. At the centre of the book are studies of novels by Jane Austen, Sir Walter Scott, Charlotte Bronte, Wilkie Collins, and Charles Dickens, but Small also brings out the historical and literary interest of hitherto neglected writings by Charles Maturin, Lady Caroline Lamb, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, and others Stories about women who go mad when they lose their lovers were extraordinarily popular during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, attracting novelists, poets, dramatists, musicians, painters, and sculptors. The representative figure of madness ceased to be the madman in chains and became instead the woman whose insanity was an extension of her female condition. Love's Madness traces the fortunes of love-mad women in fiction and in medicine between about 1800 and 1865. In literary terms, these dates demarcate the period between the decline of sentimentalism and the emergence of sensation fiction. In medical terms, they mark out a key stage in the history of insanity, beginning with major reform initiatives and ending with the establishment in 1865 of the Medico-Psychological Association This original and highly readable study challenges previous assumptions about the relationship between medicine and the novel. A major addition to nineteenth-century studies, it will be of interest to students and scholars of literature, feminism, social history, and the history of medicine |

Ill. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Love's Madness is an important new contribution to the interdisciplinary study of insanity. Focusing on the figure of the love-mad woman, Helen Small presents a significant reassessment of the ways in which British medical writers and novelists of the nineteenth century thought about madness, about femininity, and about narrative convention. At the centre of the book are studies of novels by Jane Austen, Sir Walter Scott, Charlotte Bronte, Wilkie Collins, and Charles Dickens, but Small also brings out the historical and literary interest of hitherto neglected writings by Charles Maturin, Lady Caroline Lamb, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, and others Stories about women who go mad when they lose their lovers were extraordinarily popular during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, attracting novelists, poets, dramatists, musicians, painters, and sculptors. The representative figure of madness ceased to be the madman in chains and became instead the woman whose insanity was an extension of her female condition. Love's Madness traces the fortunes of love-mad women in fiction and in medicine between about 1800 and 1865. In literary terms, these dates demarcate the period between the decline of sentimentalism and the emergence of sensation fiction. In medical terms, they mark out a key stage in the history of insanity, beginning with major reform initiatives and ending with the establishment in 1865 of the Medico-Psychological Association This original and highly readable study challenges previous assumptions about the relationship between medicine and the novel. A major addition to nineteenth-century studies, it will be of interest to students and scholars of literature, feminism, social history, and the history of medicine Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1800-1865 gnd rswk-swf Amour dans la littérature Engels gtt Femmes et littérature - Grande-Bretagne - Histoire - 19e siècle Liefdesverdriet gtt Littérature et maladies mentales - Grande-Bretagne - Histoire - 19e siècle Malades mentales dans la littérature Médecine dans la littérature Perte (Psychologie) dans la littérature Psychische stoornissen gtt Roman anglais - 19e siècle - Histoire et critique Romans gtt Vrouwen gtt Englisch Frau Geschichte English fiction 19th century History and criticism Literature and medicine Great Britain History 19th century Literature and mental illness Great Britain History 19th century Loss (Psychology) in literature Love Love in literature Medical fiction History and criticism Medicine in Literature Medicine in literature Mental Disorders Mentally ill women in literature Women and literature Great Britain History 19th century Women psychology Wahnsinn Motiv (DE-588)4127145-2 gnd rswk-swf Liebe Motiv (DE-588)4123655-5 gnd rswk-swf Frau Motiv (DE-588)4113617-2 gnd rswk-swf Psychische Störung (DE-588)4047686-8 gnd rswk-swf Frau (DE-588)4018202-2 gnd rswk-swf Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Roman (DE-588)4050479-7 s Frau (DE-588)4018202-2 s Psychische Störung (DE-588)4047686-8 s Geschichte 1800-1865 z DE-604 Liebe Motiv (DE-588)4123655-5 s Wahnsinn Motiv (DE-588)4127145-2 s DE-188 Frau Motiv (DE-588)4113617-2 s |
