The Italian Boy: A Tale of Murder and Body Snatching in 1830s London by Sarah Wise

3.0

Very ambitious book examining a variety of fields and themes in 1830s England: social mores, cultural dynamics, poverty, power, medicine, police/forensic science, etc. The author manages to hold it together, but the cast of characters is huge. A glossary of people's names or even some sort of graphic with the various players would be helpful.
