More about the book

The book delves into the conflict between two perspectives on the coroner's inquest regarding unexplained deaths. Advocates of modern medical science sought to align the inquest with a scientific investigative model, while others viewed it as a crucial protector of traditional English liberties. This clash reveals underlying uncertainties about the emergence of science as a dominant form of socially accepted knowledge, questioning the assumptions surrounding its authority in society.
