Abstract
"The focus of this investigation is a study of the concept furor in Latin literature from the beginnings through the middle of the Augustan Age. The purpose is to show that the complex ideas behind the term furor developed by degrees until the word became a general term for "madness." No attempt in this thesis is made to prove that furor was the exclusive term employed by the Romans to describe the irrational or the insane. Nor will this investigation detail all aspects of irrationality, derangement, or madness revealed in Roman culture or society. Instead, the procedure will be to investigate in roughly chronological outline the concept of the word furor; in addition, other terms that denote or connote irrationality, madness, rage, etc., will be treated. It is understood that in my study not only the noun furor but all terms derived or formed from the verb furere will be considered..."--Introduction.
