Creativity and Illness
Philip Sandblom
A classic in the field of Medical Humanities, the late Philip Sandblom’s study of art and ill health first appeared in English in 1982. This is a new, extended version, based on the definitive Swedish edition of 2022.
In riveting analyses of the interplay between illness and art, music, and literature, Creativity and illness shows how various diseases and disabilities have affected the works of famous artists, composers, and authors. Among the disorders examined by a renowned surgeon with a passion for art are drug addiction, dementia, visual impairment, and tuberculosis. Many famous names crowd the pages of this book, meeting us in fresh contexts which it took a medical expert to identify.
Despite its engagement with horrendous diseases, this book celebrates the strength of the human spirit in adversity and emphasises the joy of creation.
