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. 410 0$aWarwick studies in the humanities. 606 $aAmerican literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDeath in literature 606 $aDeath$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMourning customs in literature 606 $aIndians in literature 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aChildren in literature 606 $aSuicide in literature 607 $aUnited States$xIntellectual life$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDeath in literature. 615 0$aDeath$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aMourning customs in literature. 615 0$aIndians in literature. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aChildren in literature. 615 0$aSuicide in literature. 676 $a810.9/3548 701 $aFrank$b Lucy Elizabeth$f1973-$0957020 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451353303321 996 $aRepresentations of death in nineteenth-century US writing and culture$92167419 997 $aUNINA
