A vivid portrait of the day-to-day experience in the public asylums of nineteenth-century England, by the bestselling author of
Broadmoor Revealed.
Life in the Victorian Asylum reconstructs the lost world of nineteenth-century public asylums. This fresh take on the history of mental health reveals why county asylums were built, the sort of people they housed, and the treatments they received, as well as the enduring legacy of these remarkable institutions.
Mark Stevens, a professional archivist, and expert on asylum records, delves into Victorian mental health hospital documents to recreate the experience of entering an asylum and being treated there-perhaps for a lifetime.
