From the publisher

In the mid-1800s, a utopian movement to rehabilitate the insane resulted in a wave of publicly funded asylums-many of which became unexpected centers of cultural activity. Housed in magnificent structures with lush grounds, patients participated in theatrical programs, debating societies, literary journals, schools, and religious services.
