Women and Madness in the Early Romantic Novel: Injured Minds, Ruined Lives
Deborah Weiss
This book argues that early Romantic-Period women novelists used female madness to critique patriarchal structures of control and to revise misogynistic medical and popular sentimental models that blamed inherent female weakness and the aberrant female body for women’s mental and emotional afflictions. -- .
