Book Description

This fascinating book traces the evolution of a cultural patte as represented by the way in which people through the years have thought and felt about the so-called insane. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, mode editions, using the original text and artwork.
