Frenzy - the most flagrant and political form of madness - is the madness of warrior-heroes, kings, scolds, and the possessed. Integrating art history with cultural studies, political history, and the history of medicine, this study draws on a wide range of mediums and contexts - asylum sculpture, political broadsheets, medical texts, the imagery of revolution, caricature and medical illustrations. Understood as abusive power and belligerence out of control, and described in terms drawn equally from definitions of tyranny and liberty, frenzy was always articulated with a significant degree of political meaning. This work aims to clarify the importance of this interpretative pattern.

Doe maar gewoon, dan doe je al gek genoeg, luidt het welbekende credo. Maar niets is minder waar als we naar het verleden kijken. Nationalisme, vaderlandsliefde en heldenverering waren voor de negentiende-eeuwse Nederlander even vanzelfsprekend als ademen, lopen en bewegen. De verheerlijking van het verleden laat zien dat de literatuur in deze periode het middel bij uitstek was om gevoelens van trots en saamhorigheid onder het volk te verspreiden. Via de literatuur konden lezers kennis maken met de grote namen uit de vaderlandse geschiedenis. Boegbeelden van de Nederlandse natie waren Willem van Oranje, Michiel de Ruyter en Rem brandt van Rijn. Maar ook minder bekende figuren werden uitbundig bejubeld, zoals Albrecht Beylinc, Jan van Schaffelaar, Kenau Hasselaar en Haesje Claes. In De verheerlijking van het verleden haalt Lotte Jensen deze vaak bombastische, maar soms ook ontroerende vaderlandslievende literatuur uit de vergetelheid. De revue passeren onder meer De Hollandsche natie van Helmers, De overwintering der Hollanders op Nova Zembla in de jaren 1596 en 1597 van Tollens en Ferdinand Huyck van Van Lennep. Jensen laat zien dat deze teksten een nieuw elan krijgen, wanneer ze worden gelezen in dialoog met de tijd waarin ze geschreven zijn. De literatuur leerde het publiek niet alleen iets over het verleden, maar ook over de eigen tijd. Lotte Jensen is neerlandicus en filosoof. Zij is als onderzoeker verbonden aan de leerstoelgroep Moderne Nederlandse letterkunde van de Universiteit van Amsterdam en doceert oudere Nederlandse letterkunde aan de Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen.

In 'Paradise Lost', Adam asks, "Why do I overlive?" Adam's anguished question is the basis for a critical analysis of living too long as a neglected but central theme in Western tragic literature. Emily Wilson examines this experience in works by Milton and by four of his literary predecessors: Sophocles, Euripides, Seneca, and Shakespeare. Each of these writers composed works in which the central character undergoes unbearable suffering or loss, hopes for death, but goes on living. 'Mocked with Death' makes clear that tragic works need not find their moral and aesthetic conclusion in death and that, in some instances, tragedy consists of living on rather than dying. Oedipus's survival at the end of 'Oedipus Tyrannus' and 'Oedipus Coloneus' is clearly one such instance another Euripides' 'Heracles'. In Seneca's 'Hercules Furens', overliving becomes an expression of anxieties about both political and literary belatedness. In 'King Lear' and 'Macbeth', the sense of overliving produces a divided sense of self. For Milton, in both 'Samson Agonistes' and 'Paradise Lost', overliving is a theological problem arising from the tension between mortal conceptions of time and divine providence. Each writer in this tradition, Wilson concludes, attempts to diminish the anxieties arising from living past one's time but cannot entirely minimize them. Tragedies of overliving remain disturbing because they remind us that life is rarely as neat as we expect and hope it be and that endings often come too late.
