Description: Complicity of Friends : How George Eliot, G. H. Lewes, and John Hughlings-Jackson Encoded Herbert Spencer's Secret, Hardcover by Raitiere, Martin N., ISBN 1611484189, ISBN-13 9781611484182, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Beautifully written, based in exhaustive research, and like a detective story in its pace and sequence of revealed discovery, this study reveals that the famous 19th-century philosopher Herbert Spencer suffered from a specific neurological disorder, one that was described by his doctor John Hughlings-Jackson only in the privacy of his medical notes. Raitiere (he earned a PhD in English before going on to study and practice psychiatry and neuroscience) shows how Spencer's condition was perceived by friends and acquaintances, most notably by the novelist George Eliot, who incorporates her close relationship with him into fiction. This is a fascinating and substantial work, one that will be of interest to the general reader as well as specialists in 19th-century literature, philosophy, and neuroscience.
