A History of Death in 17th Century England by Ben Norman
English | 13 Oct. 2020 | ISBN: 1526755262 | True EPUB | 208 pages | 30.5 MB
A look at the constant confrontation with mortality the English experienced in a time of plague, smallpox, civil war, and other calamities.
In the lives of the rich and poor alike in seventeenth-century England, death was a hovering presence, much more visible in everyday existence than it is today. It is a highly important and surprisingly captivating part of the epic story of England during the turbulent years of the 1600s.
This book guides readers through the subject using a chronological approach, as would have been experienced by those living in the country at the time, beginning with the myriad causes of death, including rampant disease, war, and capital punishment, and finishing with an exploration of posthumous commemoration, including mass interments in times of disease, the burial of suicides, and the unconventional laying to rest of English Catholics. Although the people of the seventeenth century did not fully realize it, when it came to the confrontation of mortality they were living in wildly changing times.
