520 A riveting look at how the early modern world
revolutionized sleep and its relation to body, mind, soul,
and society.|bA riveting look at how the early modern
world revolutionized sleep and its relation to body, mind,
soul, and society Drawing on diverse archival sources and
material artifacts, Handley reveals that the way we sleep
is as dependent on culture as it is on biological and
environmental factors. After 1660 the accepted notion that
sleepers lay at the mercy of natural forces and
supernatural agents was challenged by new medical thinking
about sleep's relationship to the nervous system. This
breakthrough coincided with radical changes shaping
everything from sleeping hours to bedchambers. Handley's
illuminating work documents a major evolution in our
conscious understanding of the unconscious.
