Very interesting. I had seen this author mentioned in a few other books I read on the subject and checked it out. It ended up not exactly fitting my purposes (aka the direction of my research) but still interesting academic work.

Fascinating. It looks at medical cannibalism in fact and in fiction. Shakespeare, Milton, and medical tracts. Highly recommend this!
