Synopsis

This text is a combination of medical, psychiatric and historical detection showing the political, personal and cultural dilemmas that arose in the early days of psychiatry when the person who went out of his mind was none other than the king himself. It provides a study of what drives people mad and what insanity is. The book is being published to coincide with the opening at the National Theatre of a new play by Alan Bennett, "The Madness of George III".
