Modern anatomy dates back to the early modern period, and, dissection was essential to the formation of medical knowledge. Anatomy, as a discipline, emerged, moreover, in the long eighteenth century and towards the end of the eighteenth century, the foundation of the great museum collections of anatomy and comparative anatomy epitomized the broader Enlightenment project. The period also saw the growth of medical schools, both public and private, in need of human bodies for dissection, which highlighted the extent to which medical knowledge was inextricably bound up with anatomical practice. Anatomy and dissection came to play a central role in medical education in the course of the century, and medical knowledge was inextricably bound up with knowledge about death, which implied not only examining but also managing, dissecting and preserving corpses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume 1 will focus on the rise of anatomy in medical education and practice in nineteenth-century Britain, and the changes it involved in the legislation concerning human bodies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eLaurence Talairach is professor of English at Université Toulouse III-Paul Sabatier.
