| Abstract: | The reviewer states that there has been a long line of independent efforts to document and appraise Freud's life. William McGrath's book is a sign that professional historians have entered the field in strength and with a determination to link Feud's work to its social and cultural surroundings. Professor McGrath is especially interested in the period of the 1890s but explores whatever evidence is available about the intellectual origins of Freud's ideas.
