Focusing on the theme of madness, this 1762 picaresque novel offers an ironic examination of Enlightenment ideas about sanity. Set primarily in and around a lunatic asylum, it delves into the complexities of mental health and societal perceptions, showcasing the author's sharp wit and critique of contemporary beliefs. As a neglected work by a prominent 18th-century English novelist, it invites readers to reconsider the boundaries of reason and the nature of madness.
