Manic Minds: Mania's Mad History and Its Neuro-Future
Lisa M. Hermsen
Traces the multiple ways in which the word mania has been used by popular, medical, and academic writers. It reveals why the rhetorical history of the word is key to appreciating descriptions and meanings of the manic episode. Lisa M. Hermsen examines the way medical professionals analysed the manic condition during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and offers the first in-depth analysis of contemporary manic autobiographies.
