Paperback. Etat : Very Good. This study uses the celebrated American trial of Charles Guiteau, who assassinated President James A. Garfield in 1881, to explore attitudes towards insanity and criminal responsibility in the the late-19th century. The author reconstructs the courtroom battle waged by 24 expert witnesses who represented the two major schools of psychiatric thought of the generation immediately preceding Freud. Although the role of genetics in behaviour was widely accepted, these psychiatrists debated whether heredity had predisposed Guiteau to assassinate Garfield. Rosenberg's account allows the reader to consider one of the earliest cases in the controversy over the criminal responsibility of the insane, a debate that has continued through to modern times.…

University of Chicago Press Midway reprint series. xviii, 289 pages. Paperback: H 21.75cm x L 14cm. Stiff paper covers well rubbed, light stain at bottom of front cover, dark stain at rear panel's lower left with adjacent slender light stain across fore-edge. Interior leaves remain clean and binding is firm. A very good- copy. Rosenberg examines the criminal trial of lawyer Charles Guiteau (1841-1882) who shot President James A. Garfield on July 2, 1881. Garfield eventually died on September 19, 1881 and Guiteau's trial began November 14, 1881 whereupon he was found guilty on January 25, 1882 and executed by hanging on June 30, 1882. Summarized on the rear cover: "the trial of Charles Guiteau, who shot President Garfield in 1881, absorbed the nation for months and was perhaps the most celebrated nineteenth-century trial to hinge on the issue of insanity. Charles Rosenberg's masterly reconstruction of this chapter of history presents the struggle in the courtroom between the two schools of psychiatric thought in this immediately pre-Freudian generation - both accepting the control of genetics but disagreeing about the amount of control that heredity could have. And while the battle raged between the psychiatrists, Guiteau raged at all the efforts to prove him insane and insisted that there should be nothing vulgar about his moment in history. This is a brilliant study, not only of the ideas on criminal responsibility in the Gilded Age, but of the way in which national desire for vengeance can outweigh all other considerations.".…
