Gender Identity and Madness in the 19th Century Novel - 2nd Edition - Paperback

by Robert J. G. Lange (Author)

This Second Edition of a well-received work continues to break new ground in gender studies and related metaphor theory. It establishes clear links between emerging 19th Century gender identity and madness as a trope. This evolution of the changing language relating to gender is analyzed in select 19th Century British and American novels.
