Overview

Most of these occasional pieces, published over a period of almost 20 years and brought together for the first time in this volume, explore the interrelationships between neurology and literature, hence neuroliterature . Both literary and clinical accounts share narrative structure, and the former may inform a clinician's understanding of the patient experience of disease. Creative writers without medical training may describe neurological disorders based on their careful observations of the human condition, permitting a fruitful exchange of ideas in this interdisciplinary subject area. This book may be of interest to both practising clinicians and students of literature.
