Description

Explore the complex history of mental health with The Politics of Madness: The State, Insanity and Society in England, 1845-1914. As part of the Routledge Studies in the Social History of Medicine, this book offers a fresh look at how insanity was discovered and treated during the second half of the nineteenth century. By using research from both local and national sources, the text provides a new perspective on the English political and class order. It examines the significance of the asylum system following its national creation in 1845. The author argues that these new asylums served as a meeting place for different social interests, making this an essential read for those interested in social and cultural history. This work serves as a detailed appraisal of how the state and society interacted regarding mental health during a transformative era in English history.
