"This is a true historian's work, drawing on a range of archives and material sources, including objects from the history of art and everyday life, as well as evidence from archaeological sites. It is essentially a book about the relationship with the dead body in the eighteenth century, using fiction as a point of entry—what French historians might call an histoire des sensibilités...[An] elegantly written book." (Metascience) "[An] illuminating book...Zigarovich shows a deft authorial touch throughout this valuable study, ranging widely across disciplines to bring together texts and objects that overturn longstanding assumptions. Death and the Body in the Eighteenth-Century Novel will be worthwhile reading for anyone interested in issues of death and mourning and the ways in which these enduring concerns have been shaped by culture." (Social History of Medicine) "[A] multidisciplinary and comprehensive account of funeral and mourning culture in the eighteenth century... Death and the Body in the Eighteenth-Century Novel is an important contribution to the field and a necessary book to students and scholars studying death and mourning practices in the period, not least because of Zigarovich's meticulous use of source material."
