Abstract: |
The book draws on evidence from excavated cemeteries, sculpture and funerary monuments, documentary sources and iconography, and from regional case studies, to explore the changing attitudes to death and commemoration of the dead during the period from c.600 to 1500 AD. Central themes discussed include the changing location of burial, with the slow transition to the churchyard; the evidence for burial rite and funerals; funerary monuments and other forms of ecclesiastical patronage which commemorated the dead; the nature of the funerary industry and the relationship of the dead to the living community. The book looks at the ways in which a wide spectrum of medieval society coped with death and commemorated the dead. |
