Death was a constant, visible presence in medieval and renaissance
Europe. Yet, the acknowledgement of death did not necessarily
amount to an acceptance of its finality. Whether they were
commoners, clergy, aristocrats, or kings, the dead continued to
function literally as integrated members of their communities long
after they were laid to rest in their graves. From stories of
revenants bringing pleas from Purgatory to the living, to the
practical uses and regulation of burial space; from the tradition
of the ars moriendi, to the depiction of death on the stage; and
from the making of martyrs, to funerals for the rich and poor, this
volume examines how communities dealt with their dead as continual,
albeit non-living members. Contributors are Jill Clements, Libby
Escobedo, Hilary Fox, Sonsoles Garcia, Stephen Gordon, Melissa
Herman, Mary Leech, Nikki Malain, Kathryn Maud, Justin Noetzel,
Anthony Perron, Martina Saltamacchia, Thea Tomaini, Wendy Turner,
and Christina Welch
