'There is no aspect of Victorian death that does not make it into
Judith Flanders’s latest investigation into 19th-century life' -
The Sunday Times'Flanders writes with sharp intelligence and
first-class scholarly attention to detail' - The TelegraphIn Rites
of Passage, acclaimed historian Judith Flanders deconstructs the
intricate, fascinating, and occasionally – to modern eyes – bizarre
customs that grew up around death and mourning in Victorian
Britain. Through stories from the sickbed to the deathbed, from the
correct way to grieve and to give comfort to those grieving, to
funerals and burials and the reaction of those left behind,
Flanders illuminates how living in nineteenth-century Britain was,
in so many ways, dictated by dying. This is an engrossing, deeply
researched and, at times, chilling social history of a period
plagued by infant death, poverty, disease, and unprecedented
change.In elegant, often witty prose, Flanders brings the Victorian
way of death vividly to life.
