Download or read book Knox, the Anatomist written by Isobel Rae and published by Edinburgh : Oliver & Boyd. This book was released on 1964 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The nefarious practices of the murderers Burke and Hare were revealed on 2nd November 1828, with the discovery and identification of a woman's corpse in the cellar of Dr Robert Knox's School of Anatomy. Soon it was known that at least fifteen other persons has been similarly done to death. Rumours began to spread and broadsides were published to acquaint the public with all the lurid details. Henceforward Knox's name was to be inseparably linked with those of the murderers. People were in no mood to differentiate between the degrees of culpability of those involved in the scandal, and public opinion held him to be as guilty of murder as Burke and Hare who had smothered their victims withour remorse. In this book the author tells the complete life-story of Robert Knox; the years of success before 1828 and the tragic years that followed. Knox emerges as a dedicated scientist, a brilliant teacher of anatomy to whom nineteenth-century surgeons owed much; a man, probably genuinely unaware of the methods used by Burke and Hare, who found the Victorian world relentlessly unforgiving. Knox appears as a character in The Anatomist, a play by James Bridie, and in Dylan Thomas's film script The Doctor and the Devils, but neither Bridie nor Thomas shows him as the vivid character he was. Miss Rae, in seeking to vindicate him both as a man and as a doctor, has given us a sympathetic and highly readable study of one of the pioneers of modern medicine"--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian anthropology has been called an 'armchair practice', distinct from the scientific discipline of the 20th century.

Download or read book Historicism and the Human Sciences in Victorian Britain written by Mark Bevir and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historicism and the Human Sciences in Victorian Britain explores the rise and nature of historicist thinking about such varied topics as life, race, character, literature, language, economics, empire, and law. The contributors show that the Victorians typically understood life and society as developing historically in a way that made history central to their intellectual inquiries and their public culture. Although their historicist ideas drew on some Enlightenment themes, they drew at least as much on organic ideas and metaphors in ways that lent them a developmental character. This developmental historicism flourished alongside evolutionary motifs and romantic ideas of the self. The human sciences were approached through narratives, and often narratives of reason and progress. Life, individuals, society, government, and literature all unfolded gradually in accord with underlying principles, such as those of rationality, nationhood, and liberty. This book will appeal to those interested in Victorian Britain, historiography, and intellectual history.

Download or read book Anatomy Museum written by Elizabeth Hallam and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wild success of the traveling Body Worlds exhibition is testimony to the powerful allure that human bodies can have when opened up for display in gallery spaces. But while anatomy museums have shown their visitors much about bodies, they themselves are something of an obscure phenomenon, with their incredible technological developments and complex uses of visual images and the flesh itself remaining largely under researched. This book investigates anatomy museums in Western settings, revealing how they have operated in the often passionate pursuit of knowledge that inspires both fascination and fear. Elizabeth Hallam explores these museums, past and present, showing how they display the human body—whether naked, stripped of skin, completely dissected, or rendered in the form of drawings, three-dimensional models, x-rays, or films. She identifies within anatomy museums a diverse array of related issues—from the representation of deceased bodies in art to the aesthetics of science, from body donation to techniques for preserving corpses and ritualized practices for disposing of the dead. Probing these matters through in-depth study, Anatomy Museum unearths a strange and compelling cultural history of the spaces human bodies are made to occupy when displayed after death.

Download or read book The Anatomy Museum written by Elizabeth Hallam and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2008 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anatomy museums around the world showcase preserved corpses in service of education and medical advancement, but they are little-known and have been largely hidden from the public eye. Elizabeth Hallam here investigates the anatomy museum and how it reveals the fascination and fears that surround the dead body in Western societies. Hallam explores the history of these museums and how they operate in the current cultural environment. Their regulated access increasingly clashes with evolving public mores toward the exposed body, as demonstrated by the international popularity of the Body Worlds exhibition. The book examines such related topics as artistic works that employ the images of dead bodies and the larger ongoing debate over the disposal of corpses. Issues such as aesthetics and science, organ and body donations, and the dead body in Western religion and ritual are also discussed here in fascinating depth. The Anatomy Museum unearths a strange and compelling cultural history that investigates the ideas of preservation, human rituals of death, and the spaces that our bodies occupy in this life and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written over several decades and collected together for the first time, these richly detailed contextual studies by a leading historian of science examine the diverse ways in which cultural values and political and professional considerations impinged upon the construction, acceptance and applications of nineteenth century evolutionary theory. They include a number of interrelated analyses of the highly politicised roles of embryos and monsters in pre- and post- Darwinian evolutionary theorizing, including Darwin’s; several studies of the intersection of Darwinian science and its practitioners with issues of gender, race and sexuality, featuring a pioneering contextual analysis of Darwin’s theory of sexual selection; and explorations of responses to Darwinian science by notable Victorian women intellectuals, including the crusading anti-feminist and ardent Darwinian, Eliza Lynn Linton, the feminist and leading anti-vivisectionist Frances Power Cobbe, and Annie Besant, the bible-bashing, birth-control advocate who confronted Darwin’s opposition to contraception at the notorious Knowlton Trial.
