We begin our exploration of the voices of the mad with the story of the Rev. George Trosse, an English nonconformist minister, who wrote about his experience of mental illness in his autobiography in the 1650s. Although he realised he was ill, he saw his experiences as a supernatural struggle.  Please read or listen to the extracts before listening to the podcast.  You will find the written text on the website, or you can listen to them on our soundcloud stream by clicking on the links below.
