Death in Medieval Europe: Death Scripted and Death Choreographed
explores new cultural research into death and funeral practices in
medieval Europe and demonstrates the important relationship between
death and the world of the living in the Middle Ages. Across ten
chapters, the articles in this volume survey the cultural effects
of death. This volume explores overarching topics such as burials,
commemorations, revenants, mourning practices and funerals, capital
punishment, suspiscious death, and death registrations using case
studies from across Europe including England, Iceland, and Spain.
Together these chapters discuss how death was ritualised and
choreographed, but also how it was expressed in writing throughout
various documentary sources including wills and death registries.
In each instance, records are analysed through a cultural framework
to better understand the importance of the authors of death and
their audience. Drawing together and building upon the latest
scholarship, this book is essential reading for all students and
academics of death in the medieval period.
