Most of us have, at one time, been obsessed with something, but how did obsession become a mental illness? This book examines literary, medical, and philosophical texts to argue that what we call obsession became a disease in the Romantic era and reflects the era's anxieties. Using a number of literary texts, some well-known (like Mary Shelley's 1818 Frankenstein and Edgar Allan Poe's 1843 "e;The Tell Tale Heart"e;) and some not (like Charlotte Dacre's 1811 The Passions and Charles Brockden Brown's 1787 Edgar Huntly), the book looks at "e;vigilia"e;, an overly intense curiosity, "e;intellectual monomania"e;, an obsession with study, "e;nymphomania"e; and "e;erotomania"e;, gendered forms of desire, "e;revolutiana"e;, an obsession with sublime violence and military service, and "e;ideality,"e; an obsession with an idea. The coda argues that traces of these Romantic constructs can be seen in popular accounts of obsession today.
