'there is much data to enjoy in Institutionalizing the Insane. The information about companions and voluntary boarders is especially valuable, and the direct comparison between two differing asylums particularly useful.' Social History of Medicine 'I've found Institutionalizing the Insane to be a tremendously effective, informative book.' Joanne Bailey Muses on History 'its value to future research is to be lauded providing, as it does, so much empirical and anecdotal evidence on the subject.' Mad, bad and desperate - crime and insanity in Victorian England 'provides a fantastic window into the lives and worries of nineteenth-century people ... A solid study, this book will surely appeal to those interested into the complex lives and treatments of the insane during the nineteenth century.' From the Hands of Quacks
