'Reading this book pulled me out of the particulars of my lockdown woes and gave me a much deeper cultural and historical frame for our current predicaments. I left buoyed, alive, and clear that we are not alone. We have been in difficult situations like this before, and Cabin Fever shows us how we can navigate them not only with the resources of science, but, also, and refreshingly, with the arts, humanities, and just plain good writing.' -- Bradley Lewis
In this pithy and masterful book, the Crawfords reveal how the isolation we've faced through the covid pandemic sits within a tradition of confinement that human beings have endured for centuries. Their colourful examples describe how humans have faced cabin fever across a panoply of social and historical contexts and, in so doing, they open our minds to the wide range of attitudes we can take towards it. As Cabin Fever reveals the commonalities in how people have experienced confinement across history, we find ourselves in the company of the whole of humankind.
