Wise, Sarah THE ITALIAN BOY A Tale of Murder and Body Snatching in 1830s London
Henry Holt 2004 0805075372 / 9780805075373 First Edition Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
Only light wear overall. Slight soiling outer edge of pages. Light wrinkling to edge of jacket. Interior pages clean & unmarked. B/w photos. From Publishers Weekly: British historian Wise's well-written first book explores the grisly underbelly of pre-Victorian London by examining the trial of three "body snatchers, " John Bishop, James May and Thomas Williams, who were arrested in 1831 while attempting to sell the suspiciously fresh cadaver of a teenage boy to a medical college. Drawing on astonishingly detailed research, Wise places the crime in context by describing how a shadowy "resurrection" trade in exhumed bodies had grown up to meet the rising demand of the new science of anatomy...... ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
