Much of the material may well be familiar to readers with an interest in either the topic or the period but that doesn't mean the book isn't both interesting and a useful contribution to the field. Few of us have all of the things we "know" readily available to mind, though when we see it we remember it. This volume brings this information along with some new research and a nuanced perspective to both those new to it and those of us familiar to some degree. I like books that bring information together to make a point or understanding rather than assume every reader not only knows but remembers the details. Plus I now have a nice handy reference for much of this.
Recommended for those who have an interest in the Victorian Age, the changing perception and activity surrounding death, and/or those who want to know some of the original ideas behind how we currently understand our relationship to death and the dead.
Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley.
