Description

Vigor Mortis: The Vitality of the Dead in Medieval Societies by Routledge examines the relationship between the living and the deceased in Western Europe. Spanning from the Carolingian period to the end of the Middle Ages, this volume explores how premodern people maintained connections with those who had passed away. Unlike modern societies that separate the dying from their communities, these historical studies reveal a world where the dead participated in daily life. The book investigates how the deceased communicated needs or disaffection through various means, such as unquiet corps and ghostly visitations. This work provides a deep look into the mutual benefits shared between the living and the dead in premodern European history.
