Description

No marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards, very slight foxing to page edges and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn with minor creasing and a trace of damp effect to rear. 204pp. Written by a Professor of Mental Health who believes that playgoers can learn as much about madness at the theatre as from textbooks of psychiatry, this study looks at the account from playwrights of the madness afflicting such diverse characters as Orestes, Oedipus, Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Dr Faustus, Peer Gynt, Oswald Alving, Ivanov and Blanche Dubois.
