pp. 479, signed, dated and dedicated by the author on the title page. “James Matthews has just returned to England in 1797 after spending three years in a French jail. Almost immediately, he is sent to Bedlam, the sprawling hospital for the mad in London, apparently for reasons both medical and political. Matthews, who worked as a tea broker, was convinced he could help stave off war between the French and English because of his contacts with French revolutionaries and their British sympathizers. But Matthews is also quite demented and paranoid, and it is the ambiguities of his story–and his confinement–that make Bedlam a compelling novel.”
