Images of the Corpse

"This compelling book brings together physicians; artists; and scholars of film, literature, philosophy, art, and politics to discuss the representation of the corpse in Western culture. Spanning a timeline from the Renaissance to the present, these essays introduce readers to a modern autopsy; a public execution and dissection in seventeenth-century England; the genre of postmortem photography; the corpse as artist's model; images of dead women in such popular films as Copycat and The Silence of the Lambs, and post-mortem scenes in the works of Flaubert, Balzac, Andres Serrano, and others." --Publisher description.
