Excerpt from Elizabethan Drama and Its Mad Folk: The Harness Prize Essay
The original title of the essay was The Mad Folk of English Comedy and Tragedy down to 1642. It has been shortened for purposes of convenience, and the term Eliza bethan extended in order to take in a few plays which belong to the next two reigns. The term is, however, generally recognised to be an elastic one, and most of the plays dealt with fall easily within it.
Much of the revision of this work has been carried out under pressure of other duties. I have been greatly helped in it by the criticisms and suggestions of Professor G. Moore Smith,by the constant help of Mr. N. G. Brett James, by some useful information given me by Mr. 0. L1. Bullock, and especially by the kindness Of my friend, Dr. J. Hamilton, who has read the essay through in manuscript from the point of view of the physician. Although I have not always taken up this standpoint in dealing with my subject, I have tried at all times to give it due consideration, for, as Ferdinand says in the Duchess of Malfi, Physicians are like kings: they brook no contradiction.

Excerpt from Elizabethan Drama and Its Mad Folk: The Harness Prize Essay
The bulk of this essay is the result of research work along lines which, so far as the author knows, have not been previously traversed. The arrangement and the general treatment of the work are therefore original. Certain books, notably Tuke's "History of the Insane in the British Isles," Bucknill's "Mad Folk of Shakespeare," Bradley's "Shakespearean Tragedy," and Ward's "English Dramatic Literature," have been of special utility in places where reference is made to them. The critical judgments of these authors, however, have by no means always been followed.

Elizabethan Drama and Its Mad Folk: The Harness Prize Essay (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the depiction of insanity in early modern English drama. Through a detailed examination of plays written between 1590 and 1642, the author delves into the ways in which playwrights presented madness on stage. The book offers an analysis of how attitudes towards insanity evolved during this period, moving from a belief in demonic possession to a more nuanced understanding of mental illness as influenced by physical and environmental factors. The author explores the various symptoms and causes of madness as portrayed in the plays, including melancholy, mania, and delusional insanity. The book also examines the treatment of the insane, including the harsh conditions of Bedlam, the notorious London asylum. The author's insights into the representation of madness in Elizabethan drama shed light on the cultural and societal understandings of mental illness during this time.
