'Shattered Nerves': Doctors, Patients, and Depression in Victorian England
Oppenheim, Janet (Professor of History, Professor of History, American University, USA)
Janet Oppenheim's book explores an illness that figures in nearly every volume of Victorian autobiography, memoirs, diaries, letters, and more than a few novels. Oppenheim uses the letters, diaries, and autobiographies of men and women who suffered breakdowns, examines medical archives, published scientific sources, and contemporary fiction, in which the `nervous type' was so familiar as to border on caricature. Shattered Nerves places a puzzling medical problem inits full social, cultural, and intellectual context.
