Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. In literature the ambition is much narrower. In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published. And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading. Obviously for most of humanity's time people couldn't read and texts couldn't be published in any great number.

Listen in as hosts Thomas and Lydia Smith shine a light on ...

In 1827, Thomas Southwood-Smith released The Use of the Dead to the Living, a thought-provoking pamphlet that challenged the burial practices of his time. He argued that the bodies of the deceased could serve a greater purpose in contributing to medical knowledge through dissection. Southwood-Smith asserted, “If, by any appropriation of the dead, I can promote the happiness of the living, then it is my duty to conquer the reluctance I may feel.” His advocacy played a crucial role in the passage of the 1832 Anatomy Act, which permitted the state to take unclaimed corpses from workhouses for...
