Description

Explore the evolution of the English way of death in this scholarly work from Oxford University Press. Ralph Houlbrooke examines how religious changes influenced social practices between 1480 and 1750. This study covers important but often overlooked topics such as the death-bed, the making of wills, and the administration of last rites. The text provides a detailed look at the variety of commemorative media and practices used during this period. It also offers the first description of how the English funeral sermon developed from the late Middle Ages through the eighteenth century. Dr. Houlbrooke investigates how the needs of the living shaped these historical traditions, making it a significant addition to the study of social history.
