AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Here is a collection, diverse in its understanding, that moves between the skilful and ingenuous ragged horror of the loss of one's 'right' mind, to more writerly examinations where all the ingenuity of the writer has been utilised. There is little of the self-help book here, nothing of the 'cure' on offer. Some of the writers have experienced madness themseleves, others have imaginatively engaged with the experience, its effects, history or institutions; some of these stories celebrate madness, delighting in the insights and surprises it has to offer.
