This book explores how Victorian cemeteries were the direct result
of the socio-cultural, economic and political context of the city,
and were part of a unique transformation process that emerged in
London at the time. The book shows how the re-ordering of the
city's burial spaces, along with the principles of health and
hygiene, were directly associated with liberal capital investments,
which had consequences in the spatial arrangement of London.
Victorian cemeteries, in particular, were not only a solution for
overcrowded graveyards, they also acted as urban generators in the
formation London's suburbs in the nineteenth century. Beginning
with an analysis of the conditions that triggered the introduction
of the early Victorian cemeteries in London, this book investigates
their spatial arrangement, aesthetics and functions. These
developments are illustrated through the study of three private
Victorian burial sites: Kensal Green Cemetery, Highgate Cemetery
and Brookwood Cemetery. The book is aimed at students and
researchers of London history, planning and environment, and
Victorian and death culture studies.
