Exploring the interplay between literature and medicine in the early nineteenth century, this study delves into how visionary experiences and hallucinations were perceived by both Romantic authors and women writers influenced by them. It highlights the impact of medical ideas on literary expressions, while also considering the role of visual culture in shaping these narratives. The analysis provides a unique perspective on how artistic and scientific discourses intersected during this transformative period.
