Summary: "Letters of a Lunatic" by G. J. Adler is a unique and personal account that falls into the category of a memoir or epistolary work, capturing Adler's experiences and reflections during his troubling times at the University of the City of New-York in the mid-19th century. Likely written in the mid-1800s, the book delves into themes of academic freedom, personal integrity, and the tumultuous relationship between educators and institutional authorities. It primarily addresses the injustices Adler faced within the academic environment, especially regarding his professional honor and the moral implications of higher education. The content of the book consists of letters penned by G. J. Adler, where he articulates his struggles against perceived persecution and misrepresentation by colleagues and administration at the university. Through these letters, he details a series of personal grievances, including accusations of insanity and hostile treatment that led to his confinement in an asylum. Adler describes a sustained campaign against him, marked by scandals and undermining tactics employed by those who opposed his more liberal educational views. The letters not only serve to defend his character but also critique the broader social and moral landscape of academic institutions of his time, making it a reflective and thought-provoking read for those interested in the intersections of education, mental health, and societal norms.
