This book argues that a serious, scholarly study on exhumation is long overdue. Along the way, he explores the influence of Gothic fiction in the eighteenth century, the notoriety of the Ressurection Men in the nineteenth century, and the archeological heyday of the twentieth century.

This is the first book on Royal Wills since 1780 and aims to take over where the previous ones (in 1775 and 1780) left off. and the wills from Prince Albert to the present day (with a few exceptions) which sought to exclude the public from seeing their contents, in devices known as 'closing' and 'sealing up' the wills.
