Notes

• 1) See studies such as Elaine Showalter’s The Female Malady (1985), Michel Foucault’s Madness and Civilisation: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason (1961), or Lisa Appignanesi’s Mad, Bad and Sad: A History of Women and the Mind Doctors from 1800 to the Present (2008).
• 2) In his notes and acknowledgments Faulks cites Jaynes; Horribin, and the works of Professor T.J. Crow, Professor of Psychiatry at Oxford University, as the major influences for the theories Thomas develops and presents in the later parts of the novel.
• 3) See Lisa Appignanesi and John Forrester for detailed descriptions and analyses of these cases.
• 4) I will only refer to parts of the case history which are particularly illustrative of my point here. For the full case history see Human Traces 379-98.
• 5) This is not dissimilar to the way in which Freud, in the case of Ida Bauer, argued that Ida’s desire for and relationship with Frau K was actually a displaced desire for Frau K’s husband, Herr K.
• 6) For an illuminating overview of contemporary issues surrounding women and/ in mental health, see Liz Bondi and Erica Burman.
