Maier.Neo-Victorian Madness: Rediagnosing Nineteenth-Century Mental Illness in Literature and Other Media investigates contemporary fiction, cinema and television shows set in the Victorian period that depict mad murderers, lunatic doctors, social dis/ease and madhouses as if many Victorians were “mad.” Such portraits demand a “rediagnosing” of mental illness that was often reduced to only female hysteria or a general malaise in nineteenth-century renditions. This collection of essays explores questions of neo-Victorian representations of moral insanity, mental illness, disturbed psyches or non-normative imaginings as well as considers the important issues of legal righteousness, social responsibility or methods of restraint and corrupt incarcerations. The chapters investigate the self-conscious re-visions, legacies and lessons of nineteenth-century discourses of madness and/or those persons presumed mad rediagnosed by present-day (neo-Victorian) representations informed by post-nineteenth-century psychological insights. .Literature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryLiterature, Modern19th centuryFictionAdaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.)Motion picturesGreat BritainScienceHistoryContemporary LiteratureNineteenth-Century LiteratureFiction LiteratureAdaptation StudiesBritish Film and TVHistory of ScienceLiterature, Modern20th century.Literature, Modern21st century.Literature, Modern19th century.Fiction.Adaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.).Motion picturesGreat Britain.ScienceHistory.Contemporary Literature.Nineteenth-Century Literature.Fiction Literature.Adaptation Studies.British Film and TV.History of Science.809.93353800Maier Sarah Eedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAyres Brendaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484622403321Neo-Victorian Madness2230681UNINA
