LES FRONTIERES DU DELIRE : ÉCRIVAINS ET FOUS AU TEMPS DES AVANT-GARDES

---

This essay deals with the notion of madness which stands as a cultural phantasm in psychiatry and literature and often used in discourses and textual practice by avant-garde writers. It shows that the madman has become a privileged figure of the modern artist of the first part of the twentieth century. This book retraces the history of the downfall of values and of a shifting of literary and pathological frontiers.
