3. 3. Mummies, Cannibals And Vampires

   The History of Corpse Medicine from the Renaissance to the Victorians

   

   This study shows how early modern English culture reshaped anxieties about embodied undead and exotic bodies—mummies, cannibals and vampires—into powerful cultural figures that blurred boundaries between life and death. Drawing on literature, travel writing, legal cases, medical and theological texts, it argues for a rise of “corporeal spectrality” in which supernatural beings retained physical presence and legal, social and moral consequences. The book links these representations to colonial encounters, emerging forensic and medical practices, and religious debates to reveal how monstrous bodies helped negotiate authority, identity and social order in the period.
