Affective Disorder and the Writing Life: The Melancholic Muse

Editat de S. Stone Horton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 noi 2013
Affective Disorder and the Writing Life interrogates the mythos of the 'mad writer' through lived experience, literary analysis, writerly reflection and contemporary neuroscience. It explores how affective disorders colour, drive and sometimes silence the writing mind – and how affective difference has always informed the literary imagination.
