Description

Inscription on front end paper. No other marks. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked green cloth boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn or creased with fading to spine and margins. 158pp. This study builds on the author's previous work covering only the nineteenth century, with extracts from English writers and including psychiatry, social values, the spleen and vapours, masturbational insanity, women and pauper lunacy.
