Volume 14 of the series Austrian and Habsburg Studies brings together essays considering the Austria-Hungarian understanding of mental illness with a particular focus on journeys both figurative and literal. Blackshaw (art history, Plymouth U.) and Wieber (art history, U. of Glasgow) have selected contributions illustrating the 1900's Viennese cultural understanding of mental illness, including a peculiar fetishization of the afflicted signified by tourist trips to asylums and collecting art produced by the mentally disturbed. Other topics include analysis of painters and authors of the time and the popularization of spa-like sanatoriums for nervous disorders. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
