This book examines literary, medical, and philosophical texts to argue that what we call obsession became a disease in the Romantic era and reflects the era’s anxieties. Using a number of literary texts, some well-known (like Mary Shelley’s 1818 .Frankenstein .and Edgar Allan Poe’s 1843 “The Tell Tale Heart”) and some not (like Charlotte Dacre’s 1811 .The Passions. and Charles Brockden Brown’s 1787 .Edgar Huntly), .the book looks at “vigilia”, an overly intense curiosity, “intellectual monomania”, an obsession with study, “nymphomania” and “erotomania”, gendered forms of desire, “revolutiana”, an obsession with sublime violence and military service, and “ideality,” an obsession with an idea. The coda argues that traces of these Romantic constructs can be seen in popular accounts of obsession today. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | Medicine; Medical humanities; Edmund Burke; Cognitive literary studies; Monomania; John Keats; Mary Shelle | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-13988-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-13988-9Series ISSN 2634-6435 Series E-ISSN 2634-6443 | | issn_series | 2634-6435 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
