Dealing with the Dead

Mortality and Community in Medieval and Early Modern Europe

Beschreibung

From revenant legends to the regulation of burial space; from martyrologies to accounts of murder; and from the danse macabre to funerals both lavish and simple, this volume examines how communities dealt with their dead as continual, albeit non-living members.
