Episode description as stored
On today’s episode, Genevieve will discuss fascinating superstitions and beliefs that Victorians held about death and cemeteries, as well as some of the origins of those beliefs. And we will discuss how medical science in the 19th century wasn’t just horrific, it was groundbreaking, and not only developed cures, treatments and techniques that we still use today to save lives, but how medical science in the Victorian era led to astounding developments in forensic science that we still use to catch killers, and exonerate the innocent.
