Phrenological Knowledge and the Social Structure… : DASH Story 2013-12-01
I am currently working in Africa and have been forced to continue my education via distance. I referenced this article for its primary sources on phrenology in my effort to find parallels between the science of phrenology and the physical desciptions of characters in 19th century literature. Without online access to books, articles, etc, I cannot hope to create any serious review of a novel based on this or any pretext.
