Dr. Knox and the Penny Blood: Dissecting the Dissector is a TEI based project that focuses on three contemporaneous primary sources: two joint documents published in a historical newspaper, the third a series of correspondence published in an esteemed medical and surgical journal. The aim of the project is to, through the examination of these documents, further the contention that Knox was instrumental to the proceedings of the Burke and Hare murder trials and a major impetus for the Anatomy Act of 1832 to be written into law.
