Rites of Passage Death and Mourning in Victorian Britain

There is no aspect of Victorian death that does not make it into Judith Flanders''s latest investigation into 19th-century life . . . Flanders''s strength has always been to move deftly between micro and macro, the general and the particular, the societal and the entirely personal, to produce that kind of panoramic yet teeming view beloved of the Victorians themselves.>
