Katherine Fennelly is Lecturer in Heritage at the University of Lincoln
'In this book Katherine Fennelly provides one of the first glimpses into the world of early lunatic asylums in Ireland and England. [… it] is an interesting, scholarly study of a field of growing interest among academics and the general public. It is well worth reading.' Antiquity 'An Archaeology of Lunacy is a modest but useful addition to the literature on the peculiar world of the nineteenth- century asylum.' Andrew Scull, Victorian Studies -- .
