The Cost of Insanity in Nineteenth-Century Ireland: Public, Voluntary and Private Asylum Care - Mental Health in Historical Perspective Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2018 edition

This open access book is the first comparative study of public, voluntary and private asylums in nineteenth-century Ireland. Examining nine institutions, it explores whether concepts of social class and status and the emergence of a strong middle class informed interactions between gender, religion, identity and insanity.
