Description:Mary Shelley's real-life friend Isabella Baxter Booth is seeing ghosts and meeting mysterious strangers. To escape her increasingly violent, deranged husband and her own murderous impulses towards him, she flees London for her childhood home in Scotland. There she meets a young doctor, Alexander Balfour, who is at the vanguard of the emerging science of psychiatry. Isabella intrigues him, and he becomes more involved than he knows he should. Gradually his troubled past and doubts about Isabella's true intentions overwhelm him. Will they cause him to commit the biggest mistake of his personal and professional life? With its focus on madness and sexual politics in the 19th century, Unfashioned Creatures will appeal to those interested in Gothic literature, the history of our attitudes to mental health, and the lives of the Shelleys, as well as to readers of Hilary Mantel, Jeanette Winterson, Angela Carter and Michel Faber.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
