Prices: $49.74 - $55.95 from 5 stores

Bereavement and Commemoration is an historical archaeology of death, burial and bereavement from the Reformation to the present. Tarlow draws on literary and historical sources as well as on material evidence to examine the evolution of attitudes towards death and remembrance in the USA and Britain over four centuries. This text is distinguished not only because of its focus on material culture but also because of its development of theories of emotion and figuration in the context of death.
