150pp. Black cloth boards, in a pictorial dust jacket. As new condition throughout. From the folklore of live gibbetings, to the eerie historical documenting of this weird post-execution tradition, this book examines how and why murderers and other serious criminals were treated in this manner. Through case studies, examines how the introduction of the Murder Act shaped the relationship with gibbeting for years to come, and how society demanded such a shocking post-mortem treatment of criminals.
