Rites of Passage: Death and Mourning in Victorian Britain Kindle Edition
(2023)by Judith Flanders

In Rites of Passage, acclaimed historian Judith Flanders deconstructs the intricate, fascinating, and occasionally ¨C to modern eyes ¨C 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.
