Description:Nerves became a highly eligible illness in early Georgian London and Bath. What Freud was for Vienna at the end of the nineteenth-century, George Cheyne was for eighteenth-century fashionable ailments. "The English Malady" was one of the best known and most influential books of the Georgian age, dealing with what we would now call psychiatric disorders.

By making neurosis acceptable, even fashionable, Cheyne s book assumed considerably wider significance during the Enlightenment.
