Maier. 330 $aNeo-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. . 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x21st century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x19th century 606 $aFiction 606 $aAdaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.) 606 $aMotion pictures$xGreat Britain 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aAdaptation Studies 606 $aBritish Film and TV 606 $aHistory of Science 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x21st century. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x19th century. 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aAdaptation (Literary, artistic, etc.). 615 0$aMotion pictures$xGreat Britain. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 14$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aAdaptation Studies. 615 24$aBritish Film and TV. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a809.93353 676 $a800 702 $aMaier$b Sarah E$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAyres$b Brenda$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484622403321 996 $aNeo-Victorian Madness$92230681 997 $aUNINA
