"Mark Twain, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, and the Head Readers: Literature, Humor, and Faddish Phrenology" by Stanley Finger explores the phenomenon of phrenology in the mid-nineteenth century United States. The book discusses how phrenology, the belief that one's character and traits could be determined by the shape of their skull, gained popularity among intellectuals and literary figures such as Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Mark Twain. The author traces the origins of phrenology to Franz Joseph Gall and Johann Gaspar Spurzheim, and examines the influence of figures like George Combe and Franz Anton Mesmer. Finger also delves into the interest that Twain and Holmes had in phrenology, analyzing their writings and opinions on the subject. The book provides a comprehensive bibliography and highlights the cultural and historical significance of phrenology as a pseudoscientific movement. [Extracted from the article]
