"Berlin Electropolis ties the German discourse on nervousness in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to Berlin's transformation into a capital of the second industrial revolution. Focusing on three key groups - railway personnel, soldiers, and telephone operators - Andreas Killen traces the emergence of the belief that modernity caused nervous illness from its origins in the 1880s to its later decline."--BOOK JACKET.
