These discoveries had immediate medical benefits: David Ferrier's detailed cortical maps, for example, saved lives by helping surgeons locate brain tumors and haemorrhages without first opening up the skull. These experiments both incited controversy and stimulated creative thought, because they challenged the possibility of an extra-corporeal soul. This book examines the cultural impact of neurological experiments on late Victorian Gothic romances by Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, H.G. Wells and others. Novels like Dracula and Jekyll and Hyde expressed the deep-seated fears and visionary possibilities suggested by cerebral localization research and offered a corrective to the linearity and objectivity of late Victorian neurology"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 232-247) and index. 505 0 $a Cerebral localization and the late Victorian Gothic romance -- Robert Louis Stevenson's Jekyll and Hyde and the double brain -- Bram Stoker's Dracula and cerebral automatism -- Photographic memory in the works of Grant Allen -- H.G.
