Description

This collection of essays examines how literary and visual narratives from the twelfth century to the present grapple with representing death, exploring the boundaries of what language can express about mortality and loss. Drawing on texts spanning centuries, the volume investigates the creative and philosophical challenges writers and artists face when attempting to narrate the unknowable, the unspeakable, and the final human experience. Scholars and students of literature, philosophy, and cultural studies will find this Routledge Studies in Comparative Literature title essential for understanding how death functions as both subject and limit in narrative art. The essays collectively demonstrate that death remains one of literature's most profound and difficult themes, pushing writers to innovate formally and conceptually in pursuit of expression.

Key Features

Routledge Studies in Comparative Literature series offering scholarly analysis of narrative approaches to death across multiple centuries and cultures.

Essays drawing on both literary texts and visual works from the twelfth century through contemporary periods, providing historical and modern perspectives.

Explores the philosophical and formal boundaries of representation, examining what language can and cannot express about mortality.

Suitable for university courses in comparative literature, narrative theory, philosophy, and cultural studies programmes.
