Publisher's Synopsis

Patterns of Madness in the Eighteenth Century draws together extracts from writing about madness between the late seventeenth and the early nineteenth centuries, a period that saw a general decline in religious explanations for insanity and a corresponding advance in the professionalisation of psychiatry. The book includes extracts from the writings of Johnson, Boswell, Blake and Coleridge.
