Mental Disability in Victorian England: The Earlswood Asylum 1847-1901 (Oxford Historical Monographs) by David Wright
Based on the surgeons PhD, this book powered an interesting insight into the development of mental health care in the victorian era. Packed full of statistics and eye witness data, it is a wonderful collection of information that sheds light on attitudes towards mental illness and shows how far we have now come in understanding these problems.
