Literary Remains: Representations of Death and Burial in Victorian England

Description

To achieve this comprehensive and complex understanding of social change, I shuttle among a variety of texts and practices in order to identify the debate over burial, cemetery, and cremation reform and its position in the politicaland social reform debate that emerged around the time of the New Pooraw of 1834, which radically redefined who exactly would receive assistance from the local parishes and how that aid would be administered. For example, I study parliamentary debates over the New Poor Law, burial, cemetery, and cremation reform legislation, sanitary reform texts, mortality statistics, funeral, burial, and cremation handbooks, and newspaper accounts to uncover certain strategies, rituals, narratives, and ideologies that govern Victorian culture. In addition to these primary sources, I turn to secondary social histories and anthropological studies to identify the broader contours of these debates. For example, histories of early Victorian labor relations elucidate the crucial impulse to protect laborers for work and the cultural anxieties about crowds, an important and a necessary reality in the working-class funeral. Feminist studies focused on the role of women in death practices help us read critically Gaskell’s heroines and their contribution to an improved mid-Victorian society.
