How did people of the past prepare for death, and how were their
preparations affected by religious beliefs or social and economic
responsibilities? Dying Prepared in Medieval and Early Modern
Northern Europe analyses the various ways in which people made
preparations for death in medieval and early modern Northern
Europe, adapting religious teachings to local circumstances. The
articles span the period from the Middle Ages to Early Modernity
allowing an analysis over centuries of religious change that are
too often artificially separated in historical study. Contributors
are Dominika Burdzy, Otfried Czaika, Kirsi Kanerva, Mia Korpiola,
Anu Lahtinen, Riikka Miettinen, Bertil Nilsson, and Cindy Wood.
