Western Attitudes toward Death: From the Middle Ages to the Present
The four essays making up this volume represent the author's extensive research into death and dying in Western civilization. The book reveals the change in our conception and acceptance of death as evidenced in customs, literature, and art since medieval time showing how this has progressed under the influences of industrialization, mass culture and economic materialism.
A classic in the "history of mentalities" school of cultural history.
