It focuses on Caterham, England’s first state imbecile asylum, and analyses its founding, purpose, character, and most importantly, its residents, innovatively recreating the biographies of these people. Created to relieve pressure on London’s overcrowded workhouses, Caterham opened in September 1870. It was originally intended as a long-stay institution for the chronic and incurable insane paupers of the metropolis, more commonly referred to as idiots and imbeciles. This purpose instantly differentiates Caterham from the more familiar, and more researched, lunatic asylums, which were predicated on the notion of cure and restoration of the senses. Indeed Caterham, built following the welfare and sanitary reforms of the late 1860s, was an important feature of the Victorian institutional landscape, and it represented a shift in social, medical and political responsibility towards the care and management of idiot and imbecile paupers. . | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Inclu; Incurably insane; Imbecile asylum; Lunatic asylum; Victorian, Edwardian; Chronic; Welfare reform; In | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-27335-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-27337-8 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-27335-4Series ISSN 2634-6036 Series E-ISSN 2634-6044 | | issn_series | 2634-6036 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2020 |
