Produktinformationen "A Treatise on the Incubus, or Night-Mare, Disturbed Sleep, Terrific Dreams and Nocturnal Visions"

A Treatise on the Incubus, or Night-Mare, Disturbed Sleep, Terrific Dreams and Nocturnal Visions examines a phenomenon long poised between superstition, theology, and medicine. Waller treats the night-mare not as demonic assault but as a disorder of sleep, sensation, circulation, and imagination, bringing reported terrors into the explanatory language of early nineteenth-century physiology. Its style is diagnostic, admonitory, and essayistic, combining case observation, moral reflection, and Enlightenment skepticism within the broader medical literature that sought to naturalize uncanny experience. John Augustine Waller was a British medical writer and practitioner whose interests lay in translating obscure bodily disturbances into rational clinical terms. Writing in an age when popular belief still preserved older notions of incubus visitations, he approached nocturnal oppression, fearful dreams, and visionary experiences as problems requiring careful observation rather than credulous interpretation. His professional milieu, shaped by anatomy, nervous theory, and practical therapeutics, likely encouraged his effort to separate disease from folklore. This book is recommended to readers interested in the history of medicine, sleep studies, Gothic culture, and the borderland between science and the supernatural. It offers not merely an antiquarian curiosity but a revealing document of how modern explanations of dreams, anxiety, and sleep paralysis began to emerge from older worlds of fear.
