The Collector -- 7. A Mad Ending, of Sorts. 330 $aThis book examines one work from each of five prominent authors dealing with madness. Including discussion of Fowles, Hamsun, Hesse, Kafka, and Poe, it delineates the specific type of madness the author associates with each text, and explores the reason for that - such as a historical moment, physical pressure (such as starvation), or the author?s or his narrator?s perspective. The project approaches the texts it explores from the perspective of a writer of fiction as well as a critic, and discusses them as unique manifestations of literary madness, treating them stylistically as unique experiments. It is of particular note for readers of fiction, of literary criticism and to those interested in psychology. 606 $aMental illness in literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 615 0$aMental illness in literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 676 $a809.933561 700 $aAxelrod$b Mark$0848256 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300007803321 996 $aMadness in fiction$92182326 997 $aUNINA
