Nervous Disease in Late Eighteenth-Century Britain : The Reality of a Fashionable Disorder Paperback / softback
by Heather R Beatty
Part of the Studies for the Society for the Social History of Medicine series
Paperback / softback
Description
This study, based on extensive use of eighteenth-century newspapers, hospital registers and case notes, examines the experience of suffering from nervous disease – a supposedly upper-class malady.
Beatty concludes that ‘nervousness’ was a legitimate medical diagnosis with a firm basis in eighteenth-century medical theory.
