Literary Remains

Representations of Death and Burial in Victorian England

By: Mary Elizabeth Hotz

Explores Victorian responses to death and burial in literature, journalism, and legal writing. Literary Remains explores the unexpectedly central role of death and burial in Victorian England. As Alan Ball, creator of HBOs Six Feet Under, quipped, Once you put a dead body in the room, you can talk about anything. So, too, with the Victorians: dead bodies, especially their burial and cremation, engaged the passionate attention of leading Victorians, from sanitary reformers like Edwin Chadwick to bestselling novelists like Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Thomas Hardy, and Bram Stoker. Locating corpses at the center of an extensive range of concerns, including money and law, medicine and urban architecture, social planning and folklore, religion and national identity, Mary Elizabeth Hotz draws on a range of legal, administrative, journalistic, and literary writing to offer a thoughtful meditation on Victorian attitudes toward death and burial, as well as how those attitudes influenced present-day deathway practices. Literary Remains gives new meaning to the phrase that serves as its significant theme: Taught by death what life should be. ...Literary Remains is a fantastic literary companion and is worth reading even if youre not initially interested in burial practices. M/C Reviews Hotz not only contextualizes her readings within a historical framework surrounding the passage of the Burial Acts, the building of large public cemeteries in the suburbs, and the late-century introduction of cremation as a widespread social practice, but offers a perceptive and compelling rhetorical analysis of the sociological, political, and theological discourse about burial. Victorian Studies the painstaking research on debates about funerary reform that Hotz brings together will be valuable for future investigations of death in Victorian culture. Studies in English Literature This is an ambitious, energetic and rigorous attempt to do that very difficult thing, integrate detailed and historically informed analysis of the documents of nineteenth-century burial reform and of major literary texts into a lucid and complex argument that doesnt fight shy of contradiction and difficulty. Mortality Drawing on a vast range of primary sourcesofficial documents, newspapers and periodicals, travel guidesand the work of anthropologists, historians, and the substantial engagements within literary studies dealing with representations of death and the dead, Hotzs perceptive, engaging, and eloquent study will be welcomed by a range of scholars in the humanities and social sciences. CHOICE I read this fascinating book with great pleasure. It makes a valuable contribution to the study of Victorian practices of death and burial and will be an essential supplement to existing studies of the culture of Victorian melancholy and bereavement. Joel Faflak, author of Romantic Psychoanalysis: The Burden of the Mystery
