Topics include race- and gender-based investigations into the textual representation of death, imaginative constructions and re-constructions of social practice with regard to loss and memorialisation, and literary re-conceptualisations of death forced by personal and national trauma.Warwick studies in the humanities.American literature19th centuryHistory and criticismDeath in literatureDeathSocial aspectsUnited StatesHistory19th centuryMourning customs in literatureIndians in literatureAfrican Americans in literatureChildren in literatureSuicide in literatureUnited StatesIntellectual life19th centuryElectronic books.American literatureHistory and criticism.Death in literature.DeathSocial aspectsHistoryMourning customs in literature.Indians in literature.African Americans in literature.Children in literature.Suicide in literature.810.9/3548Frank Lucy Elizabeth1973-957020MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451353303321Representations of death in nineteenth-century US writing and culture2167419UNINA
