A controversial psychiatrist, known for his involvement in the Jack the Ripper case, Lyttelton Stewart Forbes Winslow (1844–1913) spent his entire life studying mental illness. Published in 1874, this is an enlightening but often disturbing insight into the institutional treatment of the mentally ill in the late nineteenth century.
