Dying for Victorian Medicine: English Anatomy and its Trade in the Dead Poor, c.1834 - 1929
E. Hurren
The first book to provide a detailed analysis of the body-trafficking networks of the dead poor that underpinned the expansion of medical education from Victorian times. With an even-handed approach to the business of anatomy, Hurren uses remarkable case histories which still echo a vibrant body-business on the internet today in a biomedical age.
