No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
This strange book by a poet and painter of distinction, records the author's experiences during a period of what is too crudely termed "insanity" by the world at large.
Though Hennell may be little-known to the general public today, in his time he was seen as an inheritor of the tradition of Constable, Cox and Palmer.
This is an account of schizophrenia, by a schizophrenic - a real one.
Author Thomas Hennell's misery as a victim of schizophrenia is just palpable in this book. There's nothing trendy or titillating about it, no matter what garbage Hollywood tries to foist on us with movies like "A Beautiful Life". There is no self-important "Girl, Interrupted"-style whining here, either.
In a final irony, after recovering and going on to serve in the British military, Hennell was killed in the war by a stray bullet. Meanwhile, Humphrey Osmond saw fit to try to exploit Hennell's account to promote psychedelic drug use. Apparently schizophrenics were put here in order that their misery should at least be exploited somehow...
