Henry Handel Richardson's 1929 novel Ultima Thule, the third volume of The fortunes of Richard Mahony, portrays the final years of Mahony's failed 19th century colonial venture and the psychological challenges he faced.

paresis
of the insane. The issues on which Richardson focuses, including Mahony's depression and suicidal
