Book Description
A recent study shows that poets are thirty times more likely to suffer from depressive illness than the rest of the population. Editors Smith and Sweeney state in their Introduction that: "It is the unconscious that drives poetry, the jumps and sudden lurches that forge new connections with things not connected before, new ways of seeing. And it is also the unconscious where the voices of the irrational lurk". Witty, brittle, serene, remote, here is poetry that is testament to the transforming power of the imagination, poetry that catches the reader in the full glare of its light, challenging the isolation, stigma, and myths of mental illness. Beyond Bedlam features 140 poems by over fifty poets, including John Bunyan, Christopher Smart, John Clare, T. S. Eliot, Arthur Rimbaud, Sylvia Plath, Allen Ginsberg, Emily Dickinson, Anne Sexton, Ezra Pound, C. K. Williams, Theodore Roethke, Paul Durcan, Ian Duhig, and John Berryman. Editor Ken Smith won the 1997 Lannan Literary Award for poetry. Produced in association with the Bethlem & Maudsley National Benefit Poetry Project to mark the 750th anniversary of the founding of the original "Bedlam" Hospital.

Book Description
Armchair Fiction presents classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel is one of veteran mystery writer John Wilstach's only forays into sci-fi, "Escape from Doom." Doren Grahame was a war hero. He'd been in the thick of action and had a piece of metal in his left arm to prove it, but all he wanted was peace and privacy. He and his upper crust fiancé had split upon his arrival back home and now he wanted to have a few drinks and forget. But while attending a society auction he chanced to bid on an exquisitely made ornament: a green fish, about three inches long, gleaming with a golden hue--it had all seemed so innocent. But soon Grahame learned of the ornament's fantastic power, a force so great it could change the balance of power throughout the world. Grahame then found his life enmeshed in the most fantastic plot imaginable, eventually landing him in the clutches of mad scientist who planned to transfer his mind into the body of another human being! The second novel is Wyman Guin's "Beyond Bedlam." It was the 29th century. No longer was the world plagued by war. Man had subdued his violent tendencies by using miracle drugs. Unfortunately, there was a side effect--everyone become schizophrenic. Bill Walden and Conrad Manz, both completely different personalities, shared the same physical body. Each personality rotated his existence with the other, each working through five-day periods before the other took over. Likewise he (Bill/Carl) was married to one woman with the same shared relationship: Helen Walden and Clara Manz. As long as the two personalities didn't encroach upon each other, society was well-ordered. As a safeguard there was an organization called Medicorps, which kept a vigilant eye on the world. And when things got out of hand, there were always the Medicops to turn to. So with these checks and balances in hand, the world seemed to run smoothly. Then one day Bill Walden decided to have an affair with Clara, his wife's alter ego!

Book Description
Bible and Bedlam first critically questions the exclusion and stereotyping of certain biblical characters and scholars perceived as 'mad', as such judgements illustrate the 'sanism' (prejudice against individuals who are diagnosed or perceived as mentally ill) perpetuated within the discipline of Western biblical studies. Second, it seeks to highlight the widespread ideological 'gatekeeping' - 'protection' and 'policing' of madness in both western history and scholarship - with regard to celebrated biblical figures, including Jesus and Paul. Third, it initiates creative exchanges between biblical texts, interpretations and contemporary voices from 'mad' studies and sources (autobiographies, memoirs etc.), which are designed to critically disturb, disrupt and displace commonly projected (and often pejorative) assumptions surrounding 'madness'. Voices of those subject to diagnostic labelling such as autism, schizophrenia and/or psychosis are among those juxtaposed here with selected biblical interpretations and texts.

Book Description
Is mental illness or madness at root an illness of the body, a disease of the mind, or a sickness of the soul? Should those who suffer from it be secluded from society or integrated more fully into it? This Way Madness Lies explores the meaning of mental illness through the successive incarnations of the institution that defined it: the madhouse, designed to segregate its inmates from society; the lunatic asylum, which intended to restore the reason of sufferers by humane treatment; and the mental hospital, which reduced their conditions to diseases of the brain. Moving and sometimes provocative illustrations and photographs, sourced from the Wellcome Collection's extensive archives and the archives of mental institutions in Europe and the U.S., illuminate and reinforce the compelling narrative, while extensive gallery sections present revealing and thought-provoking artworks by asylum patients and other artists from each era of the institution and beyond.
