Inhoud:

Although much has been published on the social history of death, this book provides a comprehensive account of attitudes towards the dead. The contributions range widely geographically, from Scotland to Transylvania, and address such topics as attitudes towards the corpse, patterns of burial, forms of commemoration, the treatment of dead infants, the afterlife and ghosts.
