Obituaries in American Culture
Janice Hume
Surveys more than 8,000 newspaper obituaries from 1818 to 1930 to show what they reveal about American culture. The book shows how, in memorializing individual citizens, obituaries make a public expression of our values. Far from being staid or morbid, these death notices offer a lively look at a changing America.
