Madness: A Brief History
Looking back on his confinement to Bethlem, Restoration playwright Nathaniel Lee declared: They called me mad, and I called them mad, and damn them, they outvoted me. Beginning with 5,000-year-old skulls with tiny holes bored in them (to allow demons to escape), through conceptions of As Roy Porter shows in Madness: A Brief History, thinking about who qualifies as insane, what causes mental illness, and how such illness should be treated has varied wildly throughout recorded history, sometimes veering dangerously close to the arbitrariness Lee describes and often encompassing cures considerably worse than the illness itself.Drawing upon eyewitness accounts of doctors, writers, artists, and the mad themselves, Roy Porter tells the story of our changing notions of insanity and of the treatments for mental illness that have been employed from antiquity to the present day.
