Print-on-DemandAnbieter: CitiRetail, Stevenage, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. "The Sack-'Em-Up Men: An Account of the Rise and Fall of the Modern Resurrectionists" is a compelling and detailed historical study into the macabre underworld of body snatching in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. James Moores Ball provides a meticulous exploration of the clandestine industry that arose to meet the growing demands of anatomical schools and medical researchers during a period when the legal supply of cadavers was severely restricted.This work delves into the lives and methods of the resurrectionists, individuals who risked imprisonment and public ire to exhume the recently deceased for profit. Ball examines the social and scientific pressures that fueled this grim trade, tracing its evolution from small-scale thefts to organized criminal enterprises. The narrative highlights the infamous cases that shocked the public conscience, including the notorious crimes of Burke and Hare in Edinburgh, which ultimately led to significant legislative changes such as the Anatomy Act of 1832.Combining medical history with true crime elements, "The Sack-'Em-Up Men" offers a fascinating look at the ethical dilemmas and societal tensions at the intersection of early modern medicine and the law. It serves as an essential record of a dark chapter in medical progress, illustrating the lengths to which science once went to unlock the secrets of the human body.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
