The Routledge History of Death Since 1800 looks at how death has
been treated and dealt with in modern history - the history of the
past 250 years - in a global context, through a mix of definite,
often quantifiable changes and a complex, qualitative assessment of
the subject. The book is divided into three parts, with the first
considering major trends in death history and identifying
widespread patterns of change and continuity in the material and
cultural features of death since 1800. The second part turns to
specifically regional experiences, and the third offers more
specialized chapters on key topics in the modern history of death.
Historical findings and debates feed directly into a current and
prospective assessment of death, as many societies transition into
patterns of ageing that will further alter the death experience and
challenge modern reactions. Thus, a final chapter probes this
topic, by way of introducing the links between historical
experience and current trajectories, ensuring that the book gives
the reader a framework for assessing the ongoing process, as well
as an understanding of the past. Global in focus and linking death
to a variety of major developments in modern global history, the
volume is ideal for all those interested in the multifaceted
history of how death is dealt with in different societies over time
and who want access to the rich and growing historiography on the
subject. Chapter 1 of this book is freely available as a
