- This monograph explores the crime, trial and execution of William Corder, one of the most notorious murderers in nineteenth-century Britain. However the monograph goes further than previous research in this area by going back to the original sources, rather than relying on fraudulent research conducted by a previous scholar in the 1960s. With a foundation in primary sources, the book then takes account of a theoretical shift in the medical humanities by exploring the ‘afterlife’ of the criminal in cultural memory, literature, and museum ethics.
