Sanatoriums were the new tourism destinations, psychiatrists were collecting art works produced by patients and writers were developing innovative literary techniques to convey a character’s interior life. This collection of essays uses the framework of journeys in order to highlight the diverse artistic, cultural and medical responses to a peculiarly Viennese anxiety about the madness of modern times. The travellers of these journeys vary from patients to doctors, artists to writers, architects to composers and royalty to tourists; in engaging with their histories, the contributors reveal the different ways in which madness was experienced and represented in ‘Vienna 1900’.","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119474426096,"sku":"9780857454591","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780857454591_p0.jpg?v=1763816656","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780857454591","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
