Synopsis
Examining the ways in which hypochondria forms both a malady and a metaphor for a range of British Romantic writers, Grinnell contends that this is not one illness amongst many, but a disorder of the very ability to distinguish between illness and health, a malady of interpretation that mediates a broad spectrum of pressing cultural questions., What if the experience of hypochondria was not simply one of imagined infirmity? In an age in which health was increasingly policied in terms of moral as well as physical well-being, writers at the turn of the nineteenth century viewed hypochondria as a malady and a metaphor for the difficulty of discerning health in the body. As a troubling laceration in normalizing efforts to determine the body as either ideally healthy or improperly sick, hypochondria mediated a range of social and political concerns and became a figure of interpretation for the ways in which the corporeal body elludes our efforts to know it. The Age of Hypochondria examines several episodes of hypochondria, in works by Thomas Beddoes, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Mary Shelley, Thomas De Quincey and Mary Prince, in order to suggest why fictions of health - and obsessions with disease - may have become so pervasive in the Romantic era.
