Franz Anton Mesmer's concept of animal magnetism exercised a profound influence on key European and American thinkers. Mesmer, who saw in his discovery the secret of health, had hoped to recover the harmony between man and nature by harnessing the power of magnetic fluids.

While most critical studies of mesmerism originate in the history of science or medicine, Maria Tatar's book takes a fresh. |
