'Moral Management and the Silencing of the Feminine in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Asylums and The Woman in White (1860)'
Please join us for an online talk, where PhD student Rebecca Hamilton will be discussing mid-nineteenth century discourse surrounding the treatment of the insane in mental institutions, particularly moral management, a treatment opposed to physical restraint. Rebecca explores how moral management is related to Wilkie Collins’s The Woman in White, particularly how it provides a lens through which to explore the textual management of the novel’s fictional editor, Walter Hartright, and ideas of power, silence, and gender.
