Armed with Madness is a novel by Mary Butts first published in 1928 that incorporates Modernism and Psychoanalytical Criticism.
A variation on the grail myth, concerned with ritualism and the relationships of a group of young bohemians living in rural isolation on the south-west coast of England, it is recognized as Mary Butts's most significant contribution to literary modernism, and has been called a "masterpiece of Modernist prose".[1]
