The social and cultural changes of the last century have
transformed death from an everyday fact to something hidden from
view. Shifting between the practical and the theoretical, the
professional and the intimate, the real and the fictitious, this
collection of essays explores the continued power of death over our
lives. It examines the idea and experience of death from an
interdisciplinary perspective, including studies of changing burial
customs throughout Europe; an account of a"dying party" in the
Netherlands; examinations of the fascination with violent death in
crime fiction and the phenomenon of serial killer art; analyses of
death and bereavement in poetry, fiction, and autobiography; and a
look at audience reactions to depictions of death on screen. By
studying and considering how death is thought about in the
contemporary era, we might restore the natural place it has in our
lives.
