Sp21M The Victorian Way of Death (Hybrid/In-Person)

In-Person | Available (Membership Required)

[NEW CLASS] The Victorians made a spectacle out of death. They both feared it and were fascinated by it. The hothouse atmosphere of romanticism combined with growing urbanization and increasing life spans contributed to a culture of death that demanded elaborate public and personal displays of inconsolable loss. Our own rituals of death and mourning directly descend from the practices put in place by the Victorians. Audio/Visual, Lecture
