Henry David Thoreau: Cycles and Psyche is a deep exploration of classic author Henry David Thoreau's self-declared "Insanity." Writen by expert psychiatric consultant Michael Sperber, Cycles and Psyche uses Icarian and Daedalian imagery in its search to identify masked affective disorders in the great writer. An in-depth psychological case study meant for intermediate to advanced psychology and literature students, Henry David Thoreau: Cycles and Psyche is unafraid to picture and scrutinize a side of the great Thoreau that not everyone dares to examine closely.
