From humble working-class exequies to the massive outpourings of grief at the State funerals of Wellington and Queen Victoria herself, this book covers an immense canvas. It describes the change in sensibility that led to a new tenderness towards the dead; disposal of the dead as part of the great sanitary reforms of the epoch; the history of the urban cemeteries with their architecture and landscapes; the ephemera of death and dying (including wreaths, mourning-cards and jewelry, elaborate hearses crowned with ostrich-feather plumes, mourning-dress, and much more); State funerals as national spectacles; and the utilitarian reactions towards the end of the 19th century. Beautifully illustrated. Over 100 illustrations.

Download and read online ebook Death, Ritual, and Bereavement write by Ralph Houlbrooke. This book was released on 2020-01-10. Death, Ritual, and Bereavement available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Originally published in 1989, Death, Ritual and Bereavement examines the social history of death and dying from 1500 to the 1930s. This edited collection focuses on the death-bed, funerals, burials, mourning customs, and the expression of grief. The essays throw fresh light on developments which lie at the roots of present-day tendencies to minimize or conceal the most unpleasant aspects of death, among them the growing participation of doctors in the management of death-beds in the eighteenth century and the creation of extra-mural cemeteries, followed by the introduction of cremation in the nineteenth century. The volume also underlines the importance of religious belief, in helping the bereaved in past times. The book will appeal to students and academics of family and social history as well as history of medicine, religion and anthropology.
