Description

Explore the social history of death in England through the work of Ralph Houlbrooke. This Oxford Studies in Social History volume examines how religious changes shaped the English way of death between 1480 and 1750. Houlbrooke investigates specific aspects of mortality that are often neglected, including the role of the death-bed, the process of will making, and the significance of last rites. The text provides a detailed look at the wide variety of commemorative media and practices used during this period. Readers will find the first description of the development of the English funeral sermon, tracking its evolution from the late Middle Ages through the eighteenth century. This study offers a deep look into how the needs of the living influenced the traditions and rituals surrounding death in English history.
