Excerpt from Shakespeare's Bones: The Proposal to Disinter Them, Considered in Relation to Their Possible Bearing on His Portraiture: Illustrated by Instances of Visits of the Living to the Dead
It is, I say, too late to raise such an objection, because exhumation has been performed many times with a perfectly legitimate object, even in the case of our most illustrious dead, without protest or objection from the most sensitive person. As the examples, more or less analogous to that of Shakespeare, which I am about to adduce, concern great men who were born and were buried within the limits of our island, I will preface them by giving the very extraordinary cases of Schiller and Raphael, which illustrate both classes those in which the object of the exhumation was to give the remains a more honourable sepulture, and those in which it was purely to resolve certain questions affecting the skull of the deceased. The following is abridged from Mr. Andrew Hamilton's narrative, entitled The Story of Schiller's Life, published in Maemz'l/aa's Magazine for May, 1863.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of historical case studies regarding the exhumation of notable figures for various reasons, including the relocation of their remains to a more dignified resting place or to provide evidence in matters of historical and biographical interest. The author provides examples from antiquity to more recent history, exploring the ethical and practical considerations surrounding the act of disturbing the dead. The book also discusses the insights that have been gained from these exhumations, which have shed light on the physical characteristics, health, and lifestyles of these individuals, offering valuable information for historians, scientists, and the general public. By exploring these case studies, the book encourages us to reflect on the delicate balance between respecting the sanctity of the grave and the potential benefits of exhumation in furthering our understanding of the past and the lives of its most influential figures.
