Gibbeting involved placing the executed body of a malefactor in an iron cage and suspending it from a tall post. A body might remain in the gibbet for many decades, while it gradually fell to pieces. Hanging in chains was a very different sort of post-mortem punishment from anatomical dissection, although the two were equal alternatives in the eyes of the law. Where dissection obliterated and de-individualised the body, hanging in chains made it monumental and rooted it in the landscape, adding to personal notoriety. Focusing particularly on the period 1752-1832, this book provides a summary of the historical evidence, the factual history of gibbetting which explores the locations of gibbets, the material technologies involved in hanging in chains, and the actual process from erection to eventual collapse. It also considers the meanings, effects and legacy of this gruesome practice.Palgrave Historical Studies in the Criminal Corpse and its Afterlife.ImperialismCivilizationHistoryHistoryCrimeSociological aspectsHistory of Britain and Irelandhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020Imperialism and Colonialismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/722000Cultural Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/723000History of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000Crime and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000Great BritainHistoryhistory of crimemedical humanitiescapital punishmentImperialism.CivilizationHistory.History.CrimeSociological aspects.History of Britain and Ireland.Imperialism and Colonialism.Cultural History.History of Science.Crime and Society.941Tarlow Sarah1967-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut865960MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910231240703321The Golden and Ghoulish Age of the Gibbet in Britain1932570UNINA
