Reader reviews for The Place of the Dead: Death and Rememberance in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe

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.
