Neurology and Modernity by Laura Salisbury (9780230233133)

Description - Neurology and Modernity by Laura Salisbury

As people of the modern era were singularly prone to nervous disorders, the nervous system became a model for describing political and social organization. This volume untangles the mutual dependencies of scientific neurology and the cultural attitudes of the period 1800-1950, exploring how and why modernity was a fundamentally nervous state.
