Luckily it was dry for once. Yes it was the IWM we stood outside. I din,t show them the old Bethlem signs, but that is a good suggestion for next time. I hope things are good with you. Do you have a twitter account too? If so, I’ll follow you.

I assume it’s the Imperial War Museum rather than Bethlem Museum that you took your group to. Do you take them past the old Bethlem signs nearby? Hope it wasn’t too wet!!

I am a London Blue Badge Guide and I shall be leading a group on a walk around the Elephant later today and stopping outside the museum.

I’m a photographic arts student working on my dissertation and I’m interested on XIX century photographic representation of the mentally ill. I was just wondering if you could advise me on where’s the best place to view photographs of the ‘insane’ (Duchenne de Boulogne, Hugh Diamond, etc…). Weras prints or books. I’m mainly interested on photographic portraiture. I’m visiting today the Freud Museum and I’m hoping to see as many galleries with related displays as possible around London. Any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance.
Sincerely yours,

Olmo R.

Webster’s play Northward Ho (c. 1605) has a scene set in Bethlem, and references to “Bedlam” appear in quite a lot of Elizabethan and Jacobean drama (try looking at Ken Jackson’s Separate Theaters). Are you looking for any specific time period? We recently wrote a blog about Antonia White’s autobiographical novel Beyond the Glass, which relates to her time in Bethlem (http://bethlemheritage.wordpress.com/2011/04/22/). I’m sure there are many other references to the Hospital. Perhaps some other blog readers can help?

Do You know any poems or novels, where authors mention Bethlem hospital? I know there Is a bit in “King Lear” by Shakespeare. But that’s all. Where to find something more?
