Author: David E. Stannard

The subject of death is treated as an aspect of cultural history, which includes the ideas about God, sin, death, and damnation imparted to children in Puritan New England; nineteenth-century America’s grim acceptance of, if not relish for, death; consolation literature in the nineteenth century; the “rural cemetery” movement; and death in Mormon and Mexican societies.

Contributors: Philippe Ariès, Ann Douglas, Stanley French, Jack Goody, Patricia Fernández Kelly, Mary Ann Meyers, Lewis O. Saum, David E. Stannard.
