“Salomone has performed a scholarly, exhaustive, and arguably unique study of misdiagnosed death in eighteenth century Britain…the author grounds her findings in a thorough appreciation of the medical and historical context and explores the phenomenon of what she terms ‘premature repercussions,’ meaning the numerous ways to describe what happens to a person who has been misdiagnosed as dead.”—Medical History Society of New Jersey “When the ‘Dead’ Rose in Britain brings the fears and dark realities of premature burial to life in a rich and engrossing narrative.
