This essay examines the issue of madness in E. D. E. N. Southworth’s The Hidden Hand ; or, Capitola the Madcap(1859) . By intertwining the themes of race and gender through the discourse of madness in the nineteenth-century American society, I aim to fill in the gap in the existing criticism which tends to read the issues of gender and race as having mutually exclusive or hierarchical relations in the text. The “ideal of contract freedom” was much celebrated as the epitome of individual rights and autonomy in the antebellum American Society with its relation to both anti-slavery and women’s rights movements. In connection with the exclusion of black and female subjects in the discourse of social contract in this period, a meditation on the relationship between gender, race, and madness can be set up. Under the surveillance of patriarchal codes, woman’s hysterical, transgressive voices are frequently mistaken for insanity. By carefully tracing the author’s illustration of female madness in the antebellum American society in the novel, I trace the ways how the dominant society subjugates the socially marginalized groups by distorting or silencing their voices. As regards the major critical debate over Southworth’s position on the issue of race and slavery reflected in The Hidden Hand, it would be impossible to deny that author’s portrayal of the black characters in the text is limited, or even discriminatory, to a certain extent. However, by revealing the systematic oppression of female subjects through the discourse of madness in the antebellum American society, the novel implicitly illustrates the institutional exploitations of those groups in the society who are deprived of the authoritative voices to advocate themselves.
