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. | The Place Of The Dead by Bruce Gordon, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
