Editorial Reviews
This intriguing book is the first systematic investigation of the evolution of medical testimony in British insanity trials from its beginnings in 1760 to 1843, when the Insanity Rules were formulated during the trial of Daniel McNaughtan. Drawing on testimony of courtroom participants from hundreds of ordinary prosecutions-ranging from burglary and forgery to sheep stealing-Eigen analyzes the elements and development of the insanity defense.
