HermsenNew Brunswick, N.J. Rutgers University Pressc20111 online resource (173 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-8135-5157-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Mania multiplies with fury : textbook descriptions -- The maniac and the iconography of reform -- Midwestern mania : genetics in the heartland -- Manic lives : mad memoirs -- Neuropsychiatry, pharmacology, and imaging the new mania. Spanning several centuries, Manic Minds traces the multiple ways in which the word "mania" has been used by popular, medical, and academic writers. It reveals why the rhetorical history of the word is key to appreciating descriptions and meanings of the "manic episode." Lisa M. Hermsen examines the way medical professionals analyzed the manic condition during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and offers the first in-depth analysis of contemporary manic autobiographies: bipolar figures who have written from within the illness itself.
