Valeria Sobol explores the topos of love as a disease in Russian literature of the late XNUMXth–XNUMXth centuries with an emphasis on the epistemological potential of this seemingly banal cultural cliché. On the material of literary works, as well as medical publications and journalistic texts, the author shows that the traditional motif of love sickness was in fact an important literary device, thanks to which writers touched on the most pressing issues of their time, such as the relationship between soul and body, the emancipation of women and the role of the positivist science in society.
