Product Description

Review

'Stunning. At last Bethlem has the comprehensive history it deserves, firmly grounded in a wider social and political context. With a deft touch the authors have unpicked the tapestry of myth and misconception surrounding Bethlem, to reveal the intricate twists and turns of its various existences. Psychiatric historiography has been considerably enriched.' - Nick Hervey, co-author of Masters of Bedlam, The Transformation of the Mad-Doctoring Trade

'At last we now have an authoritative volume ... which explores the riches of the hospital's archives to give us a splendid portrait of an emblematic institution.' - Andrew Scull, University of California

'This is a rich and fascinating social history of a unique institution for the insane.' - Charlotte MacKenzie, Inspector for the Higher Funding Council for England
