Family Mourning After War and Disaster in Twentieth-Century Britain

Beschreibung

Explores family reactions to mass death events in early twentieth-century Britain to show how families pushed against state-imposed memorial narratives and created objects to enable themselves to mourn. This is a unique, comparative, and domestic perspective on mourning that makes important contributions to the field of death studies.
