| Popis: |
The introductory chapter sets the groundwork for understanding the relevance of literary and cultural texts for the emergence of psychopharmacology, contextualising the essays in this volume through research in literature and medicine/literature and science as well as through recent developments in popular culture that speak to the volume’s relevance. We examine the novelty of experimentations and knowledge of drug effects on the human brain and body, and highlight the importance of such work for ethics. |
