Rewriting the History of Madness: Studies in Foucault's "Histoire de la Folie" Book

Rewriting the History of Madness is a collection of essays centered around a provocative paper by Colin Gordon, which claims that major critics have failed to take note of the depth of Foucault's researches because of their excessive dependence on the English translation of the abridged 1965 edition. The collection takes Gordon's essay as a starting point, but ranges widely in drawing out the significance of Foucault's writings for modern thought in a variety of disciplines. With its annotated bibliography of anglophone reactions to Madness and Civilization, this book provides an excellent and lively approach to the literature on Foucault, and is an exciting assessment of the implications of his work in the history of madness and the historiography of the human sciences.Read More
