Description

How did people of the past prepare for death, and how were their preparations affected by religious beliefs or social and economic responsibilities? 'Dying Prepared in Medieval and Early Modern Northern Europe' analyses the various ways in which people made preparations for death in medieval and early modern Northern Europe, adapting religious teachings to local circumstances. The articles span the period from the Middle Ages to Early Modernity allowing an analysis over centuries of religious change that are too often artificially separated in historical study
