Phrenology – now dismissed and discredited – was a popular knowledge system in the nineteenth century. Looking beyond its theoretical history, Carla Bittel uncovers how its real users adopted, adapted, and resisted phrenology in their pursuit of self-knowledge, with disconcerting implications for our modern preoccupation with self-improvement.
