Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Hysteria of Lady Macbeth is a book written by Isador Henry Coriat and published in 1912. The book explores the character of Lady Macbeth from Shakespeare's play, Macbeth, and delves into the psychological aspects of her behavior. Coriat, who was a psychiatrist, analyzes Lady Macbeth's actions and words, and suggests that she suffers from hysteria, a condition that was commonly diagnosed in women during the Victorian era. He argues that Lady Macbeth's ambition and guilt lead to her mental breakdown, and that her symptoms of hysteria are a manifestation of her inner turmoil. The book also discusses the historical context of hysteria and its treatment during the early 20th century. Overall, The Hysteria of Lady Macbeth is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between literature and psychology, and offers a unique perspective on one of Shakespeare's most complex characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
