Book Description:
|
Though an important figure, Cheyne has been little studied. No scholarly reprint exists of his major thematic work, The English Malady. This edition, originally published in 1991 as part of the Tavistock Classics in the History of Psychiatry series, prefaced by a substantial introduction by Roy Porter, aims to contextualize the work in respect of eighteenth-century medicine, culture and society.
