This 2002 book is an exploration in social history, showing how the
practices surrounding death and burial can illumine urban culture
and experience. Vanessa Harding focuses on the crowded and
turbulent worlds of early modern London and Paris, and makes rich
use of contemporary documentation to compare and contrast their
experience of dealing with the dead. The two cities shared many of
the problems and pressures of urban life, including high mortality
rates and a tradition of Christian burial and there are many
similarities in their responses to death. The treatment of the dead
reveals the communities' preoccupation with the use of space,
control of the physical environment and the ordering of society and
social behaviour.
