Charles Dickens is famous for his deathbed scenes, but these have
rarely been examined within the context of his ambivalence towards
the Victorian commodification of death. Dickens repeatedly
criticised ostentatious funeral and mourning customs, and asserted
the harmful consequences of treating the corpse as an object of
speculation rather than sympathy. At the same time, he was
fascinated by those who made a living from death and recognised
that his authorial profits implicated him in the same trade. This
book explores how Dickens turned mortality into the stuff of life
and art as he navigated a thriving culture of death-based
consumption. It surveys the diverse ways in which death became a
business, from body-snatching, undertaking, and joint-stock
cemetery companies, to the telling and selling of stories. This
broad study offers fresh perspectives on death in The Old Curiosity
Shop and Our Mutual Friend, and discusses lesser-known works and
textual illustrations.
