This fascinating and timely book examines the distressing psychological syndrome of 'cabin fever' in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and the greatest confinement of people to their homes in history, offering antidotes for it. Exploring the definitions and social and cultural history of cabin fever, a condition provoked by prolonged isolation, the book will be of interest to anyone concerned about the impact of current or any future pandemic lockdowns, prison life, remote living, or even travelling to Mars.

‘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.’
