This book deals with the Psychology of Genius and the relation between Genius
and Insanity.
"The psychological analysis of famous poets will show that the intellectual
function is no whit less important a factor of poetic genius than fancy
itself, although the latter is the one immediately employed in the act of
composition. We have seen that creative fancy works with the material which
former impressions of sense have left behind as their remains or residua. The
more comprehensive the knowledge of the poet, therefore, and the more he is in
condition to assimilate and compact the impressions the world conveys to him,
and the sounder and truer his judgments of persons and situations, and the
more methodical his thought and the better his memory, by so much the more
will his fancy display luxuriance, and so much more various will be his
creations.
