Description
Death in Medieval Europe: Death Scripted and Death Choreographed explores the cultural significance of death and funeral practices during this period. Through ten chapters, the book examines how death was ritualised and choreographed, as well as its expression in writing through various documentary sources.
Case studies from across Europe, including England, Iceland, and Spain, are used to illustrate the importance of understanding the cultural context of death in medieval society. By analysing records such as wills and death registries through a cultural framework, the book sheds new light on the significance of death and its authors.
This volume is an essential contribution to the study of death in the medieval period, drawing together and building upon the latest scholarship to provide a comprehensive understanding of this complex topic.
