This collection of essays explores questions of neo-Victorian representations of moral insanity, mental illness, disturbed psyches or non-normative imaginings as well as considers the important issues of legal righteousness, social responsibility or methods of restraint and corrupt incarcerations. The chapters investigate the self-conscious re-visions, legacies and lessons of nineteenth-century discourses of madness and/or those persons presumed mad rediagnosed by present-day (neo-Victorian) representations informed by post-nineteenth-century psychological insights. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | neo-victorian literature; mental illness; neo-victorian television; neo-victorian film; madness studies; | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-46582-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-46584-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-46582-7 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
