It is by now axiomatic that hysteria as a medical diagnosis disappeared in the twentieth century, despite a persistence since classical antiquity. Yet, abandoned by one set of caretakers, this charismatic orphan has been solicited and fussed over by others. A steady rise of interest in hysteria as a philosophical and critical object continues, particularly within the history of medicine, art history, literary criticism, cultural studies, and feminist theory
