- Summary
- "Much Madness Is Divinest Sense, which gets its title from the famous Dickinson poem, is, says Greider, "a gateway into the poignancy and power of the widespread struggle with madness and other forms of emotional anguish." A study of memoirs written by those who have experienced such suffering, Greider shows that those who produce accounts of their struggle with "madness" or psychiatric illness of various types, whether in themselves or someone they love, assert on the basis of their experience that there is sometimes "divinest sense" in madness--something of ultimate value. This book respectfully engages that assertion and seeks to understand it. "Soul-suffering" denotes the most profound aspects of psychic anguish and the book focuses on spiritual issues--questions of ultimate meanings and values--that psychic turmoil commonly precipitates. Where they are raised by the memoirists, the book touches on the beliefs and practices of specific religious traditions." -- Book Jacket
