Excavations of medical school and workhouse cemeteries undertaken
in Britain in the last decade have unearthed fascinating new
evidence for the way that bodies were dissected or autopsied in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This book brings together the
latest discoveries by these biological anthropologists, alongside
experts in the early history of pathology museums in British
medical schools and the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and
medical historians studying the social context of dissection and
autopsy in the Georgian and Victorian periods. Together they reveal
a previously unknown view of the practice of anatomical dissection
and the role of museums in this period, in parallel with the
attitudes of the general population to the study of human anatomy
in the Enlightenment.
