From the publisher

Although much has been published on the social history of death, this is the first book to give a comprehensive account of attitudes toward the dead--above all the "placing" of the dead, in physical, spiritual and social terms--in order to reveal the social and religious outlook of past societies. The contributions range widely geographically, from Scotland to Transylvania, and address a spectrum of themes: attitudes toward the corpse, patterns of burial, forms of commemoration, the treatment of dead infants, the nature of the afterlife, and ghosts.

First line

While sections of Burckhardt's classic - 'Religion and Morality' - have not stood well the test of time, the cornerstones of his thesis - Renaissance individualism, secularisation and a new zeal for 'fame and glory' - continue to shape interpretation of the Italian Renaissance from its tombs to its economic structure.
