'Intellectual Disability is an original and compelling work that traces the concept of idiocy or intellectual disability across an ambitious time frame while still retaining cohesiveness and strength of argument. The volume makes clear the complexity and fluidity of concepts of intellectual disability in a series of accessible and informative chapters. The book will appeal not only to historians of psychiatry and medicine but also to those with an interest in far broader areas, such as the history of religion, law, and other associated areas.' Ian Miller, University of Ulster, H-Disability January 2019 -- .
