This book is a study of the pioneer early county asylums, which
were intended to provide for the 'cure', and 'safe custody' of
people suffering from the ravages of insanity. It considers the
origins of the asylums, how they were managed, the people who
staffed them, their treatment practices, and the experiences of the
people who were incarcerated. 'Community care' in the late
twentieth century has led us to abandon the network of nineteenth
century lunatic asylums. This book reminds us of the ideals that
lay behind them. The book contains extensive material regarding
particular cities/counties, e.g. Nottingham, Lincoln, Stafford,
Wakefield, Lancaster, Bedford, West Riding, Norfolk, Cornwall,
Dorset, Suffolk, etc.
