| Summary | "The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 14, No. 83, September, 1864" by Various is a historical magazine publication written in the mid-19th century. This volume includes a collection of articles and essays on diverse topics related to literature, art, and politics, reflecting the cultural and intellectual milieu of the time. Among the features is an essay titled "The Cadmean Madness," which contemplates the nature of sanity and art in relation to societal norms. The opening of the magazine presents a thought-provoking exploration of the concept of madness, suggesting that perceptions of sanity are largely based on societal conventions. The author examines historical epochs and artistic movements, proposing that great cultural achievements often arise from collective eccentricities. There is a warning about the risks of becoming overly immersed in the written word, potentially leading to a loss of connection with the natural world. This opening sets a reflective and critical tone, urging readers to reconsider their relationship with literature and the influences of societal pressures on individual thought.
