Focusing on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it looks at the consequences of the 1752 Murder Act. These criminal bodies had a crucial role in the history of medicine, and the history of crime, and great symbolic resonance in literature and popular culture. Starting with a consideration of the criminal corpse in the medieval and early modern periods, chapters go on to review the histories of criminal justice, of medical history and of gibbeting under the Murder Act, and ends with some discussion of the afterlives of the corpse, in literature, folklore and in contemporary medical ethics. Using sophisticated insights from cultural history, archaeology, literature, philosophy and ethics as well as medical and crime history, this book is a uniquely interdisciplinary take on a fascinating historical phenomenon."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Executions and executioners $z Great Britain $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Executions and executioners $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Criminals $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Human dissection $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Executions and executioners in literature. 650 0 $a Medical ethics $z Great Britain $x History. 650 7 $a Executions and executioners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917772 650 7 $a Executions and executioners in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917776 650 7 $a Human dissection. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962937 650 7 $a Medical ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01014081 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1700-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Lowman, Emma Battell, $d 1980- $e author. 830 0 $a Palgrave historical studies in the criminal corpse and its afterlife. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213015913.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F21FFFB6E96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
