520 _a"Elizabethan Drama and Its Mad Folk" by E. Allison Peers is a scholarly examination of the representation of madness in early modern drama written in the early 20th century. The text explores how insanity is depicted within different plays, considering both historical perspectives on mental illness and literary portrayals of mad characters. Peers aims to elucidate the prevalence and significance of madness in the works of Elizabethan playwrights, revealing how these representations reflect societal attitudes towards mental health and disease. The opening of the work introduces the author's premises, emphasizing the historical and literary importance of studying madness within Elizabethan drama. Peers argues that understanding how madness was presented can provide insights into the progress of societal attitudes toward mental illness during that era. He notes that the paper will consider madness from both historical and literary perspectives, focusing on various types of mad characters found in tragedy and comedy. Additionally, the author clarifies his approach will be literary rather than medical, aiming to interpret the dramatist's perspective while acknowledging the complexities of mental illness's portrayal in their works.
