Poor Matt: Or The Clouded Intellect (1866) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781166949655)

Poor Matt: Or The Clouded Intellect is a novel written by Jean Ingelow and published in 1866. The story follows the life of Matt, a young man with a clouded intellect who struggles to fit in with society. Matt's family and friends try to help him, but their efforts are often misguided and ultimately do more harm than good. As Matt grows older, he becomes increasingly isolated and frustrated with his inability to understand the world around him. The novel explores themes of mental illness, social isolation, and the importance of empathy and understanding in helping those who are struggling. Through Matt's story, Ingelow challenges readers to question their assumptions about intelligence and to consider the ways in which society can better support those who are differently abled.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
