Feminizing Fatality
The feminizing (and sexualizing) of death was apparent in images, news reports and pamphlets where the female body was closely linked to lust and death. An example can be seen as early as 1517 in the image Death and the Maiden by Hans Baldung Grien. By the eighteenth century the female body was objectified and passified in doctoring, in death and in sex. Women, sex and death melded together in a display of a sort of macabre exoticism.11
Dr Knox was implicated in the Burke and Hare murders, portrait c. 1830.
