1230 Baltimore Johns Hopkins University Press 1990 Hardback dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), jacket front flap corner creased. 220 pp. Explores the historical, intellectual and clinical roots of a condition that has puzzled experts for centuries, and which has been subject to much criticism, for example, from feminists (as hysteria more commonly diagnosed in women). Separate sections examine hysteria differently defined as disease, dimension, behaviour, and as a life-story. Although condemned by physicians, the concept is nevertheless still popular.
