This book examines one workÂ dealing with madnessÂ from each of five prominent authors. 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 or his narrator perspective. The project approaches the texts it explores from the perspective of a writer of fiction as well as from the perspective of a critic, andÂ discusses them as unique manifestations of literary madness. It is of particular significance for those interested in the interplay of fiction, literary criticism, and psychology.
