In Liberty and Insanity in the Age of the American Revolution,
Sarah L. Swedberg examines how conceptions of mental illness
intersected with American society, law, and politics during the
early American Republic. Swedberg illustrates how concerns about
insanity raised difficult questions about the nature of governance.
Revolutionaries built the American government based on rational
principles, but could not protect it from irrational actors that
they feared could cause the body politic to grow mentally or
physically ill. This book is recommended for students and scholars
of history, political science, legal studies, sociology,
literature, psychology, and public health.
