No Ordinary Deaths
A People's History of Mortality
'A beautifully written and thought provoking journey' Professor Sue Black, author of All That Remains<BR><BR>'There surely won't be a better history of the subject than Conisbee's' Literary Review<BR><BR>'Richly researched ... an intimate chronology' TLS<BR><BR>The lost art of 'dying well' was common knowledge to our ancestors - who, living closer to death than we do, had an intimate and integrated relationship with the afterlife. For centuries, cycles of death, dying and disposal have shaped society, from the death-watchers of the Middle Age to the pomp of Victorian funeral wear.<BR><BR>Ranging from the plague pit to the grave-robbery, from consecrated ground to the hangman's drop, No Ordinary Deaths is a groundbreaking work of social history which asks: how did our ancestors live, and die? How might the old ways help prepare us for our own ends?
