Oates, Joyce Carol (1938-....). Auteur

In this harrowing story based on authentic historical documents, we follow the career of Dr. Silas Weir, "Father of Gyno-Psychiatry", as he ascends from professional anonymity to national renown.(..) As he begins to establish himself as a pionneer of nineteenth-century surgery, Weir's ambition is fuelled by his obsessive fascination with a young Irish identured servant named Brigit, who becomes not only Weir's primary experimental subject, but also the agent of destruction.
