Description: The Victorian Celebration of Death - - - By James Stevens Curl.Published by Sutton Publishing in 2000. "While the Victorians managed to confront death and mortality directly, we now treat such topics as taboo. That era's views were transformed by many factors, including the creation of urban cemeteries; the production of such merchandise for mourners as wreaths and elaborate hearses; the Romantic Movement; the Evangelical Revival; and the national spectacle of state funerals. Curl's lively study of the dead is supplemented by quotations from Ovid, Shakespeare, and Dickens, among others, and features dozens of black and white photographs of noteworthy burial grounds". Hardcover. 7"x10", 330 pages, black & white illustrations, dust jacket. Minor wear.
