Defiant voice -- pt. 2. Patrician diagnosis -- pt. 3. Challenging liminality. 330 $aThis highly original study of the 'manic style' in enthusiastic writing of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries identifies a literary tradition and line of influence running from the radical visionary and prophetic writing of the Ranters and their fellow enthusiasts to the work of Jonathan Swift and Christopher Smart. Clement Hawes offers a counterweight to recent work which has addressed the subject of literature and madness from the viewpoint of contemporary psychological medicine, putting forward instead a stylistic and rhetorical analysis. He argues that the writings of dissident 'enthusiastic' groups are based in social antagonisms; and his account of the dominant culture's ridicule of enthusiastic writing (an attitude which persists in twentieth-century literary history and criticism) provides a powerful and daring critique of pervasive assumptions about madness and sanity in literature. 410 0$aCambridge studies in eighteenth-century English literature and thought ;$v29. 517 3 $aMania & Literary Style 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnthusiasm in literature 606 $aLiterature and mental illness$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEnglish language$y18th century$xRhetoric 606 $aEnglish language$y18th century$xStyle 606 $aLevellers 606 $aRanters 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnthusiasm in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and mental illness$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish language$xRhetoric. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStyle. 615 0$aLevellers. 615 0$aRanters. 676 $a820.9/005 700 $aHawes$b Clement$0221713 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248126303316 996 $aMania and literary style$9567109 997 $aUNISA
