Death, Grief and Poverty in Britain, 1870–1914 - Cambridge Social and Cultural Histories
Strange, Julie-Marie (University of Manchester)
Julie-Marie Strange studies the expression of grief among the working class in Victorian and Edwardian Britain, demonstrating that poverty increased - rather than deadened - it. She illustrates the mourning practices of the working classes through chapters addressing care of the corpse, the funeral, the cemetery, and commemoration.
