Publisher Synopsis
<br>"For decades, scholars of Victorian history, literature, and culture have referred to nineteenth-century psychiatric thinking about such topics as mesmerism, hysteria, moral management, race, and sexuality, but the major texts in these debates have been scattered and unavailable outside major libraries. Now Embodied Selves brings the most important essays of Victorian psychiatry, from George Combe to Havelock Ellis, together in one volume. Brilliantly chosen and organized, these essays will transform our understanding of Victorian narrative and its discontents."--Elaine Showalter, Princeton University<p><br>"This anthology will transform the study of nineteenth-century psychology. It draws together fascinating materials hitherto impossible for most people to reach. The head-notes and introductions provide contexts that render the collection invaluable for students as well as academics in the fields of literature, history of science, gender studies, and psychiatry."--Gillian Beer, Cambridge University<p><br> Read more...
