Introduction: Interpreting romantic hypochondria -- Occupational hazard: Beddoes and the "great dark threat" of romantic medicine -- Body dysmorphic disorder: the self-anatomy of Coleridge's aesthetics -- Phantom memory: nation and the absent body of idealism in Mary Shelley's Thelast man -- Multiple Personality: De Quincey's Political economies of infirmity -- Performance anxiety: illness and The History of Mary Prince.

What if the experience of hypochondria was not simply one of imagined infirmity? In an age inwhich health was increasingly policied in terms of moral as well as physical well-being, writers atthe turn of the nineteenth century viewed hypochondria as a malady and a metaphor for the difficulty of discerning health in the body. As a troubling laceration in normalizing efforts to determine the body as either ideally healthy or improperly sick, hypochondria mediated a range of social and political concerns and became a figure of interpretation for the ways in which the corporeal body elludesour efforts to know it. The Age of Hypochondria examines several episodes of hypochondria, in worksby Thomas Beddoes, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Mary Shelley, Thomas De Quincey and Mary Prince, in order to suggest why fictions of health - and obsessions with disease - may have become so pervasive inthe Romantic era.
