Beskrivning

Koslofsky examines the human encounter with death in Germany from the eve of the Reformation to the rise of Pietism. By drawing on anthropological interpretations of death ritual, this study explores the changing relationships between the body, the soul, the living and the dead in the daily life of early modern Germany.
