Death, Religion, and the Family in England, 1480-1750 - Oxford Studies in Social History
Houlbrooke, Ralph (Reader in History, Reader in History, University of Reading)
The author examines the effects of religious change on the English "way of death" between 1480 and 1750. He discusses relatively neglected aspects of the subject such as the death-bed, will-making and the last rites, and describes the development of the English funeral sermon after the Middle Ages.
