The Cost of Insanity in Nineteenth-Century Ireland: Public, Voluntary and Private Asylum Care - Mental Health in Historical Perspective
Alice Mauger
This open access book is the first comparative study of public, voluntary and private asylums in nineteenth-century Ireland. Examining nine institutions, it explores whether concepts of social class and status and the emergence of a strong middle class informed interactions between gender, religion, identity and insanity.
