The Madman as Hero in Contemporary American Fiction
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 January 2009
Extract
In this paper I want to engage in a speculative manner with a number of issues, both moral and stylistic, that reverberate around the contemporary novel. I have chosen to focus this discussion on the idea of the mad hero because, in the concepts of madness and the heroic, vital elements in contemporary aesthetics coincide.
