Troubled by Faith: Insanity and the Supernatural in the Age of the Asylum
Davies, Prof Owen (Professor of Social History, Professor of Social History, University of Hertfordshire)
The 19th century was a time of extraordinary scientific innovation, but with the rise of psychiatry, faiths and popular beliefs were often seen as signs of a diseased mind. By exploring the beliefs of asylum patients, we see the 19th century in a new light, with science, faith, and the supernatural deeply entangled in a fast-changing world.
