People throughout time have had to cope with death as an existential experience, and this also, of course, in the premodern world. The contributors to the present volume examine the material and spiritual conditions of the culture of death, studying specific buildings and spaces, literary works and art objects, theatrical performances, and medical tracts from the early Middle Ages to the late eighteenth century. Death has always evoked fear, terror, and awe, it has puzzled and troubled people, forcing theologians and philosophers to respond and provide answers for questions that seem to evade real explanations. The more we learn about the culture of death, the more we can comprehend the culture of life. As this volume demonstrates, the approaches to death varied widely, also in the Middle Ages and the early modern age. This volume hence adds a significant number of new facets to the critical examination of this ever-present phenomenon of death, exploring poetic responses to the Black Death, types of execution of a female murderess, death as the springboard for major political changes, and death reflected in morality plays and art. 410 0$aFundamentals of medieval and early modern culture ;$vVolume 16. 606 $aDeath$xSocial aspects$zEurope$xHistory 606 $aDeath$zEurope$xReligious aspects$xHistory 606 $aMiddle Ages 606 $aMaterial culture$xEurope$xHistory 606 $aDeath in art 606 $aDeath in literature 607 $aEurope$xHistory$y1492-1648 607 $aEurope$xSocial life and customs 607 $aEurope$xReligious life and customs 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life 615 0$aDeath$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aDeath$xReligious aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aMiddle Ages. 615 0$aMaterial culture$xEurope$xHistory. 615 0$aDeath in art. 615 0$aDeath in literature. 676 $a306.9094 686 $aLB 43880$2rvk 702 $aClassen$b Albrecht 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815327103321 996 $aDeath in the Middle Ages and early modern time$94005225 997 $aUNINA
