Abstract

While he was interned in Finsbury and Bedlam, James Carkesse wrote “Lucida Intervalla”, a collection of 53 poems published in London in 1679. The social and historical importance of “Lucida Intervalla” lies in the fact that, in the light of available documentation, it seems to be the first literary text written while its author was detained in a madhouse.
