It was not long ago that phrenology was commonly dismissed with
amused contempt. However, recent scholarship now views it as one of
the most significant, if curious, social and intellectual
manifestations of the nineteenth century. It is seen as having
impinged on virtually every aspect of life, thought and belief and
is regarded as having contributed instrumentally to developments in
anthropology, criminology, medicine, psychiatry and education. Many
eminent figures of the period are also now appreciated as having
seriously occupied themselves with phrenology, from sociologists
Comte and Spencer to novelists such as Eliot and Balzac. This set
of eight volumes draws together a wealth of material crucial to the
intellectual debate over phrenology, both as a branch of mental
physiology and as a contribution to the history of philosophy. The
articles selected represent the variety of different views
throughout the nineteenth century, both pro and anti-phrenology.
