Sanity, Madness, and Transformation – The Psyche in Romanticism
In this episode ofThe Mad Genius Thesis Podcast, we exploreSanity, Madness, Transformation: The Psyche in Romanticism, an analysis of how Blake, Shelley, and Wordsworth confronted and expressed madness, myth, and the unconscious in their writing. Drawing on Jungian psychology, as well as the theories of de Man and Derrida, this episode examines how Romantic poets used archetype, language, and personal experience to navigate the complexities of the psyche. We also compare Jung’s and Northrop Frye’s perspectives on Romantic literature, exploring how the Romantics’ engagement with sanity, madness, and transformation continues to influence modern thought.
