Living With the Dead - Memories, Histories, and the Stories Families Tell in Modern Britain

Info autore

Laura King is a historian of families, of the intimate worlds behind the closed doors, and the emotional relationships between relatives. Having worked on the history of fatherhood (Family Men, OUP, 2015), her research has turned towards inter-generational relationships between the living and the dead, and the very processes of how history gets made in the private spaces of family life. She has published in many journals, including History Workshop Journal and the Journal of Family History, and throughout her career has worked with numerous partners and groups outside of universities, such as museums, charities, family historians, and artists. She is Professor of Collaborative History, University of Leeds.

Riassunto

Through an innovative methodology of collaborative critical family history, this book examines the relationship between the living and the dead within family life, charting the way families create afterlives for their ancestors. It asks who and what gets to be remembered, and why.
