Written by one of the world's leading paleographers, this book
poses two fundamental questions: When did human beings begin--and
why have they continued--to decide that a certain number of their
dead had a right to a "written death"? What differences have
existed in the practice of writing death from age to age and
culture to culture? Drawing principally on testimonials intended
for public display, such as monuments, tombstones, and grave
markings, as well as on scrolls, books, manuscripts, newspapers,
and posters, the author reconstructs the ways Western cultures have
used writing to commemorate the dead, from the tombs of ancient
Egypt to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C.
