520 "The social and cultural changes of the last century have
transformed death from an everyday fact to something
hidden from view. Shifting between the practical and the
theoretical, the professional and the intimate, the real
and the fictitious, this collection of essays explores the
continued power of death over our lives. It examines the
idea and experience of death from an interdisciplinary
perspective, including studies of changing burial customs
throughout Europe; an account of a"dying party" in the
Netherlands; examinations of the fascination with violent
death in crime fiction and the phenomenon of serial killer
art; analyses of death and bereavement in poetry, fiction,
and autobiography; and a look at audience reactions to
depictions of death on screen. By studying and considering
how death is thought about in the contemporary era, we
might restore the natural place it has in our lives."--
