Chapter 5 “The Vanishing Lady”, the railway, and illusions of movement

Drawing on previous scholarship on the interrelation of memory and materiality,…

Those convicted of homicide were hanged on the public gallows before being dissected under the Murder Act in Georgian England. Yet, from 1752, whether criminals actually died on the hanging tree or in the dissection room remained a medical mystery in early modern society.
