Literature and the Asylum
| 1 |
Do literary accounts add to, or detract from our social scientific understanding of madness? |
70% |
Planning and organisation of material:
Good - perhaps argument could have been more tightly focused in central section.
Use of sources:
Good. Although reading through the piece I would have like to have seen some reference to the other literary work (Kesey).
Analysis:
Overall, a high standard of analysis, although I felt that you needed to comment on the lack of evident madness in Clare's verse.
Presentation:
Good.
Overall comments:
I thought this was for the most part a persuasive argument. As indicated above, you might have been able to produce a more [...] account of Clare's verse, and I think you could have dealt with the ambiguities of Frame's memoire more concisely. Some discussion of the allegorical [...] of Kesey's work would have been worthwhile here.
