    摘要、提要註: Citizens of the modern era found themselves singularly prone to nervous disorders, while at the same historical moment the nervous system became a privileged model for describing the organization of political and social spheres. Neurology and Modernity describes and explores this intriguing coincidence, uncovering the centrality of neurological ideasof health, disease, and experience withinthe medical treatises, popular advice manuals, science fiction, literary fiction, spiritualist tracts, philosophy, government reports and military tribunals of the period1800-1950. This volume tracesand illuminates the cultural ideas and anxieties that informed representations of the nervous body,whilst showing how many of the most distinctive features of the period known as modernity seem to vibrate in sympathy with neurology's central concerns. The thirteen new studies in this volume untangle the significant mutualdependencies between scientific neurology and the cultural attitudes of theperiod, exploring how and why modernity remained such a fundamentally nervous state.
