"The Routledge History of Death Since 1800 looks at how death has been treated and
dealt with in modern history - the history of the past 250 years - in a global context,
through a mix of definite, often quantifiable changes and a complex, qualitative assessment
of the subject. The book is divided into three parts, with the first considering major
trends in death history and identifying widespread patterns of change and continuity
in the materal and cultural features of death since 1800. The second part turns to
specifically regional experiences, and the third offers more specialized chapters
on key topics in the modern history of death. Historical findings and debates feed
directly into a current and prospective assessment of death, as many societies transition
into patterns of ageing that will further alter the death experience and challenge
modern reactions. Thus, a final chapter probes this topic, by way of introducing the
links between historical experience and current trajectories, ensuring that the book
gives the reader a framework for assessing the ongoing process, as well as an understanding
of the past. Global in focus and linking death to a variety of major developments
in modern global history, the volume is ideal for all those interested in the multifaceted
history of how death is dealt with in different societies over time and who want access
to the rich and growing historiography on the subject"
