"[S. Weir Mitchell, 1829-1914] is the first comprehensive, postfeminist biography of Mitchell. . . . Cervetti's book is sure to become the biography of record." -David G. Schuster, Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, "Cervetti has given readers a freshly researched, beautifully written portrait of a vital figure who, for better and worse, towered over his age." --Helen L. Horowitz Bulletin of the History of Medicine, "Nancy Cervetti shows us the 'whole' S. Weir Mitchell as he revealed himself through his unpublished autobiography and copious correspondence. She has mined a veritable mountain of primary sources, including Mitchell's scientific papers, and elegantly integrated them all into this beautifully written biography. Cervetti's original approach to Mitchell's work provides readers with a treasure trove of information about his family life, research career, literary aspirations, and travels. The precious primary source materials shine like gems in the setting of Cervetti's helpful historical context." -Lisa A. Long, North Central College, "Nancy Cervetti shows us the 'whole' S. Weir Mitchell as he revealed himself through his unpublished autobiography and copious correspondence.

The precious primary source materials shine like gems in the setting of Cervetti's helpful historical context." --Lisa A. Long, North Central College, "Cervetti's professional, personal, political, and psychological analysis of S. Weir Mitchell provides insight into the social and political climate of the nineteenth century and serves as a useful case study within the larger context of American medicine and culture." --Savannah L. Williamson Social History of Medicine, "[ S. Weir Mitchell, 1829-1914 ] is the first comprehensive, postfeminist biography of Mitchell. . . . Cervetti's book is sure to become the biography of record." --David G. Schuster, Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, "Cervetti's professional, personal, political, and psychological analysis of S. Weir Mitchell provides insight into the social and political climate of the nineteenth century and serves as a useful case study within the larger context of American medicine and culture." --Savannah L. Williamson, Social History of Medicine, "You will find many Mitchells in Nancy Cervetti's book: rambunctious boy, unfocused youth, budding physician, committed experimentalist, pioneering neurologist, bibliophile, poet, novelist, socialite, fisherman, medical graybeard, feted celebrity, and cultural Polonius. The threads Cervetti uses to weave the fabric of his life are his need to write and his attitude toward women. They stitch together a fascinating nineteenth-century life, with its successes, failures, and contradictions." --Charles Greifenstein, American Philosophical Society, "Cervetti has produced an elegantly written, incredibly detailed, and impressively comprehensive narrative of Mitchell's journey from the insecure son of an overbearing father to the highly esteemed and influential researcher and clinician in physiology and neurology to a kind of medical public intellectual and literati." -Richard A. Meckel, Journal of American History, "[ S. Weir Mitchell, 1829-1914 ] is the first comprehensive, postfeminist biography of Mitchell. . . . Cervetti's book is sure to become the biography of record." --David G. Schuster Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, "[S.

Schuster, Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography, "This book is the first modern, reliable biography of S. Weir Mitchell based on thorough research and careful, scholarly use of a wide range of primary sources. The research and interpretation here are highly original. Nancy Cervetti's biography uses new information about Mitchell to provide a complex and fascinating interpretation of his life, his work, and his significance to American literature and culture." --Gregory Eiselein,Kansas State University, "This book is the first modern, reliable biography of S.

Horowitz, Bulletin of the History of Medicine, "The name of Silas Weir Mitchell shades discussions of medicine, feminist literature, and the social, scientific, and literary conversations at the dawn of the twentieth century. Over a half century has elapsed since the last substantive biography of a man who 'built a powerhouse of a life,' as Nancy Cervetti describes Mitchell. She has written a stunning, holistic survey of Mitchell's work from Civil War neurology to his insights in psychiatry and hysteria, his popular literature, and his antagonism toward women's rights. Cervetti's fascinating biography communicates Mitchell's 'keen sense of life as a performance' and will inspire new scholarship and appeal to a readership as broad as Mitchell's own reading publics." -Robert Hicks, Mtter Museum and Historical Medical Library, The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, "The name of Silas Weir Mitchell shades discussions of medicine, feminist literature, and the social, scientific, and literary conversations at the dawn of the twentieth century.
