Beschreibung:
'The 1832 Anatomy Act was a crime against the poor. Anna Gasperini uses to it explain why corpses, monsters, demon barbers and body snatchers populated cheap fiction in the early Victorian years. This is a major inter-disciplinary study that establishes the gothic penny dreadful as a vital source for understanding popular culture in the age of Dickens and the Chartists.' - Rohan McWilliam, Professor of Modern British History, Anglia Ruskin University, UK
