About This Item
Cambridge, MA:: Harvard University Press, 1986., 1986. 8vo. xiii, [1], 218 pp. Figs., index. Pictorial wrappers. Very good. ISBN: 0674569512 "Early in 1788, Franz Anton Mesmer, a Viennese physician, arrived in Paris and began to promulgate a somewhat exotic theory of healing that almost immediately seized the imagination of the general populace. Robert Darnton, in his lively study of mesmerism and its relation to eighteenth-century radical political thought and popular scientific notions, provides a useful contribution to the study of popular culture and the manner in which ideas are diffused down through various social levels." [Harvard University Press].
