151pp. Introduction, references, index. The relation of genius to madness has been the subject of debate and controversy for over a hundred years. The romantic movement of the nineteenth century redefined the nature of genius, deemphasizing its sane and rational nature and elevating and glorifying its link to madness. The "mad genius" controversy offers the author an opportunity to explore the dynamics of labelling as it applies to individuals and categories of people - in this case, men of genius. In his examination and conclusions, Becker has written a book that is of interest to sociologists, social psychologists and psychiatrists, as well as historians and students of Romantic literature. Publisher's cloth in dust jacket. Light shelfwear. Very good. Seller Inventory # 53969
