Deborah Hayden, An Independent Scholar And Marketing Executive, Has Lectured On Syphilis And Creativity, Most Recently At UCSF Medical School, San Francisco Conservatory Of Music, And The Bay Area History Of Medicine Society. She Lives In Mill Valley, California.
"How a transmittable little bacterium with a twisting propellant tail...deeply affected...mankind's perception of itself." Anthony Day, Los Angeles Times From Beethoven to Oscar Wilde, from Van Gogh to Hitler, Deborah Hayden throws new light on the effects of syphilis on the lives and works of seminal figures from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries. Writing with remarkable insight and narrative flair, Hayden argues that biographers and historians have vastly underestimated the influence of what Thomas Mann called "this exhilarating yet wasting disease." Shrouded in secrecy, syphilis was accompanied by wild euphoria and suicidal depression, megalomania and paranoia, profoundly affecting sufferers' worldview, their sexual behavior, and their art. Deeply informed and courageously argued, Pox has been heralded as a major contribution to our understanding of genius, madness, and creativity.
