Since ancient times, writers and poets have grappled with death,
dying, grief, and mourning in their works. The Final Crossing:
Death and Dying in Literature compiles fifteen in-depth, scholarly,
and original essays on death and dying in literature from around
the globe and from different time periods. Written from a variety
of critical perspectives, the essays target both scholars and
serious students. Death and dying is an important area of study for
a variety of disciplines, including psychology, psychiatry,
sociology, gerontology, medical ethics, healthcare science, health
law, and literary studies. The Final Crossing is a landmark
compendium of academic essays on death and dying in literary texts,
such as the Iliad, Hayy ibn Yaqzan, Hamlet, The Secret Garden, and
The Grapes of Wrath. This collection of essays not only brings an
international flavor, but also a unique angularity to the discourse
on thanatology. The novelty of perspectives reflects the diverse
cultural and intellectual backgrounds of the contributors. This
diversity opens up a fresh conversation on a number of age-old
questions related to "the final crossing." In this volume, readers
will find an intriguing array of topics for further reflection and
research.
