xii, 500 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm. In this book, historian Joanna Bourke covers the landscape of fear over the past two hundred years: from the nineteenth-century dread of being buried alive to the current worry over being able to die when one chooses; from the diagnoses of phobias and anxieties produced by psychotherapists and lovingly catalogued, to the role of popular culture and media in inciting panic and dread; from the horrors of the nuclear age to the cold fear of twenty-first-century terrorism. Death -- Disasters -- The child -- Nightmares -- Phobias -- Social hysteria -- Combat -- Civilians under attack -- Nuclear threats -- The body -- Strangers. Joanna Bourke. Originally published: London : Virago, 2005. Includes bibliographical references (p. [453]-487) and index.
