Possessing The Dead: The Artful Science of Anatomy

London, 1868: visiting Australian Aboriginal cricketer Charles Rose has died in Guy's Hospital. His body did not go directly to a grave. Possessing the Dead explores the disturbing history of the cadaver trade in Scotland, England and Australia, where laws once gave certain officials possession of the dead, and brings to life this gruesome past.
