Mad Richard / Lesley Krueger.

Krueger, Lesley, (author.).

Summary:

A promising artist, handsome, modest, and affectionate, Richard Dadd rubbed shoulders with the great luminaries of the Victorian Age. Then he fell prey to delusions, committed a murder, and ultimately found himself imprisoned in Bedlam, committed as criminally insane. In 1853, Charlotte Brontë-- about to publish her third novel, suffering from unrequited love, and herself wrestling with questions about art and artists, class, obsession and romance-- visits Richard at Bedlam and finds an unexpected kinship in his feverish mind and his haunting work.
