The Languages of Psyche - Mind and Body in Enlightenment Thought (Paperback)

""The Languages of Psyche illuminates principal aspects of eighteenth-century medicine and literature and shows how evolving patterns of thought established continuities that helped shape nineteenth- and twentieth-century conceptions of the mental anatomy. Specialists in the history of ideas, including the history of medical psychology, philosophy, political science, and literature and the arts, should welcome its publication."--Gloria Sybil Gross, California State University, Northridge

"This is a splendid anthology, which I read with unflagging interest. . . . The editor has managed an eclecticism that "works. It produces rich and fascinating variety rather than chaos."--Henry Abelove, Wesleyan University

"A very impressive set of essays dealing with an important topic in eighteenth-century thought . . . written by some of the leading scholars in social history, history of science and medicine, and literary studies."--John Yolton, Rutgers University
