Product Description
Product Description
This vivid pictorial history gives a fascinating insight into the ways Londoners have dealt with death over the last 100 years. The city's rich cultural, social and religious character is reflected in approaches to death, and in funerals and burial rituals. Brian Parsons has brought together a wide-ranging collection of historical photographs to show the growing variety of ceremonies that express the cosmopolitan makeup of the city. His original work gives us a telling glimpse of prevailing attitudes to death and burial, and it offers a revealing portrait of a neglected aspect of life in the capital and the country as a whole. (Longer synopsis on reverse).
