"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, "[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of History and Biography, "Nancy Cervetti shows us the 'whole' S. Weir Mitchell as he revealed himself through his unpublished autobiography and copious correspondence.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 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, "[ S.

Synopsis
