- Inspiration and Insanity in British Poetry, 1825-55 is a single-author monograph, 100,000 words in length, which required sustained research effort to write. Researching and writing this monograph took several years, as it was first necessary to locate, read, and analyse scores of nineteenth-century works on psychology, medicine, madness, mesmerism, opiates, alcoholism, and spiritualism, many of them extremely dense, lengthy, and obscure, along with a vast range of literary texts and secondary scholarship.
