To probe the literary representation of the alienated mind, this work examines mad protagonists of literature and the work of writers for whom madness is a vehicle of self-revelation. It shows how literary interpretations of madness, as well as madness itself, reflect the very cultural assumptions, values, and prohibitions they challenge.
To probe the literary representation of the alienated mind, Lillian Feder examines mad protagonists of literature and the work of writers for whom madness is a vehicle of self-revelation.
