| Zusammenfassung: | In the first book to provide a feminist analysis of early modern madness, Carol Thomas Neely reveals the mobility and heterogeneity of discourses of "distraction," the most common term for the condition in late-sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England. Distracted Subjects shows how changing ideas of madness that circulated through medical, dramatic, and political texts transformed and gendered subjectivities. Supernatural causation is denied, new diagnoses appear, and stage representations proliferate. Drama sometimes leads and sometimes follows other cultural discourses—or forges its own prophetic figures of distraction. The Spanish Tragedy first links madness to masculine tragic self-representation, and Hamlet invents a language to dramatize feminine somatic illness. Innovative women's melancholy is theorized in medical and witchcraft treatises and then elaborated in the extended portrait of the Jailer's Daughter's distraction in The Two Noble Kinsmen. Lovesickness, newly diagnosed in women, demands novel cures, and allows expressions of transgressive sexual desire in treatises and in plays such as As You Like It. The rituals of possession and exorcism, intensely debated off stage, are mocked and exploited on stage in reiterated comic scenes of confinement that madden men to enhance women's power.Neely's final chapter provides a startling challenge to the critically alluring analogy between Bedlam and the early modern stage by documenting that Bethlem hospital offered care, not spectacle, whereas stage Bedlamites served metatheatrical and prophylactic, not mimetic, ends. An epilogue places this particular historical moment within the longer history of madness and shows how our own attitudes toward distraction are haunted by those earlier debates and representations |

Cornell paperbacks Ithaca ; London Cornell Univ. Press 2004 1 Online-Ressource (XIII, 244 S.) Illustrationen txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier In the first book to provide a feminist analysis of early modern madness, Carol Thomas Neely reveals the mobility and heterogeneity of discourses of "distraction," the most common term for the condition in late-sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England. Distracted Subjects shows how changing ideas of madness that circulated through medical, dramatic, and political texts transformed and gendered subjectivities. Supernatural causation is denied, new diagnoses appear, and stage representations proliferate. Drama sometimes leads and sometimes follows other cultural discourses—or forges its own prophetic figures of distraction. The Spanish Tragedy first links madness to masculine tragic self-representation, and Hamlet invents a language to dramatize feminine somatic illness. Innovative women's melancholy is theorized in medical and witchcraft treatises and then elaborated in the extended portrait of the Jailer's Daughter's distraction in The Two Noble Kinsmen. Lovesickness, newly diagnosed in women, demands novel cures, and allows expressions of transgressive sexual desire in treatises and in plays such as As You Like It. The rituals of possession and exorcism, intensely debated off stage, are mocked and exploited on stage in reiterated comic scenes of confinement that madden men to enhance women's power.Neely's final chapter provides a startling challenge to the critically alluring analogy between Bedlam and the early modern stage by documenting that Bethlem hospital offered care, not spectacle, whereas stage Bedlamites served metatheatrical and prophylactic, not mimetic, ends. An epilogue places this particular historical moment within the longer history of madness and shows how our own attitudes toward distraction are haunted by those earlier debates and representations Shakespeare, William 1564-1616 (DE-588)118613723 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1575-1616 gnd rswk-swf Literature and mental illness England Mental illness England History 16th century Mental illness England History 17th century Psychoanalysis and literature England Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 gnd rswk-swf Wahnsinn Motiv (DE-588)4127145-2 gnd rswk-swf Geschlechterrolle Motiv (DE-588)4222106-7 gnd rswk-swf Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 gnd rswk-swf Shakespeare, William 1564-1616 (DE-588)118613723 p Wahnsinn Motiv (DE-588)4127145-2 s Geschlechterrolle Motiv (DE-588)4222106-7 s DE-604 Englisch (DE-588)4014777-0 s Drama (DE-588)4012899-4 s Geschichte 1575-1616 z Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 0-8014-4205-2 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 0-8014-8924-5 https://www.degruyter.com/doi/book/10.7591/9781501729133 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
