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. 410 0$aPalgrave Historical Studies in the Criminal Corpse and its Afterlife,$x2947-6356 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aImperialism 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aCrime$xSociological aspects 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aCultural History 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aCrime and Society 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aCrime$xSociological aspects. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aCrime and Society. 676 $a941 686 $aHIS000000$aHIS015000$aHIS054000$aSCI034000$aSOC004000$2bisacsh 700 $aTarlow$b Sarah$f1967-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0865960 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910231240703321 996 $aThe Golden and Ghoulish Age of the Gibbet in Britain$91932570 997 $aUNINA
