Death and the Prince: Memorial Preaching Before 1350
D'avray, D. L. (Reader in Medieval History, Reader in Medieval History, University College, London)
This is a fascinating study of attitudes to death and the afterlife in medieval Europe. Based on unpublished sermons in memory of kings and princes, it examines the relationship between kingship and death, in a period when a genuinely secular political consciousness existed alongside other-worldly priorities.
