Reviews
This is an important book, advancing the study of first-person narratives of madness and demonstrating the substantive contributions that literary scholars can make to medical history. Wood succeeds in her goal to "write respectfully about the often startling mental phenomena that are a part of human experience" (p.x), partly by taking her own account and that of every person she writes about equally as objects of inquiry. With "stories of schizophrenia" her explicit focus, she makes clear at the outset that these include "stories written by those living with it and stories written by those who study and treat it" (p. 1). Wood understands clearly the key challenge faced by all scholars of madness narratives: "How do those living with chizophrenia write about their lives given that the diagnosis defines them as unable to tell a coherent story?" (p. 2). Gail A. Hornstein (Mount Holyoke College) in: Bulletin of the History of Medicine , Volume 89, Number 2, Summer 2015, p. 334-336.
