Hangman's Halloween : The Surgeon, The Cadaver & The Resurrectionist

Illustrated lecture on the history of bodysnatching and dissection


When the gallows failed to provide adequate legal material for medical dissection, the body-snatchers were called in by renowned surgeons such as Sir Astley Cooper. Public outcry over this grisly practice resulted in the dreaded Anatomy Act. From graveyard to gurney : an illustrated lecture.
