This rich and authoritative account of beliefs about the medical efficacy of dead bodies is a fascinating, if gruesome, eye-opener." John Henry, University of Edinburgh, UK "Richard Sugg has written a thorough and engaging examination of pre-modern corpse medicine, paying special attention to literary and cultural history. The new edition with its expanded online content makes this book equally appealing to advanced scholars and students of history, medicine, and literature. It is an excellent edition for graduate and undergraduate classroom use." Miriam Jacobson, University of Georgia, USA "Richard Sugg's book Mummies, Cannibals, and Vampires is valuable to both survey student and specialist alike. The book's breadth, from Renaissance to Victorian society, is impressive but it is the work's macabre details which rivets readers to recorded medical uses of the human body." Charles Levine, Mesa Community College, USA Praise of the previous edition: 'This book is full of rich detail, making you both recoil and yet read on, fascinated by our ancestors' imaginative ways to try and heal the sick. ' - Cotswold History Blog "I do not write this lightly - Mummies, Cannibals and Vampires: the History of Corpse Medicine from the Renaissance to the Victorians is one of the most eye-opening and phenomenal books I have ever read. It is incredibly well researched, well written and states the case of medicinal cannibalism throughout the ages with great detail and reference. There is no other book like it and I feel so fortunate to have it upon my shelf...It would be a fantastic book to accompany a college class of the same subject." - Amazon.com Customer Review, 5 Stars "Sugg's book offers itself as a 'history' of corpse medicine. Though it is the work of a well-known literary scholar, Mummies, Cannibals and Vampires invokes imaginative writing only to augment the evidence it draws from medical and scientific texts... Sugg's interest in corpse medicine reaches well beyond mumia to inspect all those strange concoctions of human tissue and waste favoured by early modern pharmacology"- Michael Neill, London Review of Books. 650 0 $a Medicine $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Medicine $x Christianity. $x Christianity. 650 0 $a Medicine, Magic, mystic, and spagiric. 650 0 $a Cannibalism. 650 12 $a Medicine, Traditional $x history. 650 12 $a Corpse Dismemberment $x history. 650 22 $a Cannibalism $x history. 650 22 $a Mummies $x history. 650 22 $a History, 16th Century. 650 22 $a History, Modern 1601-. 651 2 $a Europe. 650 7 $a 44.99 medicine: other. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077596935 $2 bcl 650 7 $a Cannibalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00845849 650 7 $a Medicine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014893 650 7 $a Medicine, Magic, mystic, and spagiric. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01015272 650 7 $a Medicine $x Christianity. $x Christianity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01015045 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 650 17 $a Lijken. $2 gtt $0 (NL-LeOCL)095976620 650 17 $a Geneeskunde. $2 gtt $0 (NL-LeOCL)078516528 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211201010641.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=59E012C2527411EC8E4D38A14AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
