{"product_id":"lost-souls-diana-peschier-9781788318075","title":"Lost Souls: Women, Religion and Mental Illness in the Victorian Asylum","description":"How did the Victorians view mental illness? After discovering the case-notes of women in Victorian asylums, Diana Peschier reveals how mental illness was recorded by both medical practitioners and in the popular literature of the era, and why madness became so closely associated with femininity. Her research reveals the plight of women incarcerated in 19th century asylums, how they became patients, and the ways they were perceived by their family, medical professionals, society and by themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diana Peschier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1788318072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781788318075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Diana Peschier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938101494015,"sku":"9781788318075","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_801d575c-7f3e-43e1-8b16-6d7f8d5dd40d.jpg?v=1681433739","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-souls-diana-peschier-9781788318075","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
