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. 410 0$aPalgrave Historical Studies in the Criminal Corpse and its Afterlife 606 $aHistory 606 $aCrime$xSociological aspects 606 $aHistorical sociology 606 $aSocial history 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/717020 606 $aHistory of Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000 606 $aCrime and Society$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000 606 $aHistorical Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22130 606 $aSocial History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/724000 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 610 $aHistory 610 $aGreat Britain?History 610 $aCrime?Sociological aspects 610 $aHistorical sociology 610 $aSocial history 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aCrime$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aHistorical sociology. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aCrime and Society. 615 24$aHistorical Sociology. 615 24$aSocial History. 676 $a941 700 $aTarlow$b Sarah$f1967-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0865960 702 $aBattell Lowman$b Emma$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299795403321 996 $aHarnessing the Power of the Criminal Corpse$91949979 997 $aUNINA
