- This 94,000-word monograph emerges from a major multidisciplinary research project, funded by the Wellcome Trust, investigating the meaning, treatment and uses of the criminal corpse, mainly in Britain, between the mid-eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. The book is the capstone of the project, and combines medical history, legal history, religious history, social history and the history of the body. It speaks to questions of materiality and the body, criminality, treatment of the dead and the history of punishment. The authors contributed equally to the book.
