Frenzy in Early Modern England: Madness, Brain Disease and the Soul - Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History
Carter, Philippa (University of Cambridge)
Now long-forgotten, the brain disease 'frenzy' was frightening, not just because it killed its sufferers, but because it changed them beyond recognition. This book offers a fresh perspective on early modern understandings of mental illness, and deepens and complicates our sense of what madness meant in this period.
