Inconvenient People: Lunacy, Liberty and the Mad-Doctors in Victorian England by Sarah Wise

5.0

Excellent book on the history of asylum care and controversy in the Victorian era, through a series of landmark cases. Compelling for anyone with an interest in mental health, particularly the ongoing debates around liberty, society and the anti-psychiatry movement. A very readable book, with fascinating characters inhabiting it - highly recommended.
