概要 Philo (geography, U. of Glascow) first addressed the historical geography of what he calls the mad business in his senior thesis, and again in his Ph.D. dissertation for Cambridge University in 1992. ...e spent another decade plugging up what gaps he could see and do something about, and is now ready to present that study to the wider public. He takes a couple chapters to explain the nature of geography and how to lace it into the histories of madhouses, mad-doctors, and mad people. His next step is a big chronological one: from the Dark Ages of Merlin to the Restoration in the 17th century. Then he examines features over the next century such as madness in jails, houses of correction, poorhouses, and workhouses; the opportunistic geographies of the private madhouse system; the location and relocation of charitable lunatic hospitals; and compromise and conflict in the spaces of the public asylum asylum system. The text is double spaced. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) 続きを見る
