Executing Magic in the Modern Era
This book explores the magical and medical history of executions from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century by looking at the afterlife potency of criminal corpses, the healing activities of the executioner, and the magic of the gallows site. The use of corpses in medicine and magic has been recorded back into antiquity. The lacerated bodies of Roman gladiators were used as a source of curative blood, for instance. In early modern Europe,…
The criminal corpse in pieces
For criminals the moment of death marked the beginning of a new social existence, in which their former identities disappeared in the magico-medical employments of their bodies. Blood, fat and bones were sought for by people as effective medicines or as protective charms. This paper aims to look at the survival of such traditions in nineteenth-century western Europe, discussing how a blend of learned notions and folk-beliefs nurtured the view of …
A virtue beyond all medicine’
From the eighteenth century through to the abolition of public executions in England in 1868, the touch of a freshly hanged man's hand was sought after to cure a variety of swellings, wens in particular.

The Jew, the Blood and the Body in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe
The reality of the blood libel legend and accusations of ritual murder against Jews in medieval and early modern times has been widely discredited by scholars. They demonstrate instead the processes by which the exclusion of a perceived ethnical and religious enemy strengthened the communal identity of European society at that time. The aim of this paper is to look at the alleged bodily evidence of the libel—the blood—and at the controversial way…
