Product Description

Review

'The book is rich in findings founded on a strong evidential base and will be of interest not only to historians of medicine and social policy, but also those of gender, society and politics, as well as to historical geographers and sociologists ... An admirable book that should be a model for further contextualized studies of asylums in particular and regional medical cultures more generally that are needed in Britain and Ireland.' – The Economic History Review


Product Description

Within a social and cultural history of the English political and class order, this text presents a fresh appraisal of the significance of the asylum in the decades following the creation of a national asylum system in 1845.
