- Description
- The authors examine the the values that underlie associations of femininity with death and deal with issues such as: what constitutes a feminine death, what is a feminine reaction to death and death’s courting of women. Essays include analyses of women’s deathbed scenes, suicides, murders, funerals and autopsies in literature and other nineteenth-century media.
