The Routledge Companion to Death and Literature delves into the profound ways in which literature has explored the ever-changing relationship between humanity and its ultimate fate. This comprehensive collection stands as the most extensive in this rapidly evolving field of study, featuring insightful essays by renowned scholars Brian McHale, Catherine Belling, Ronald Schleifer, Helen Swift, and Ira Nadel, alongside the contributions of a generation of young scholars from diverse corners of the world. These younger scholars bring valuable transnational perspectives to the table, enriching the discourse.
Spanning a wide array of mediums and genres, including biography, autobiography, documentary, drama, elegy, film, novel, graphic novel, opera, picture books, poetry, television, and more, the contributors present a diverse range of approaches that vary from broad examinations of specific periods and genres to in-depth analyses of select case studies. Essays cover every major Western era, from Classical times to the Renaissance, and even extend into the contemporary.
This collection serves as a captivating testament to the diverse ways in which humanity has grappled with the inevitability of death. The term "live with" encompasses a multitude of meanings, ranging from providing solace and memorialization to rationalization, defense, evasion, and, perhaps most intriguingly, escape. The essays are engagingly written and supported by examples from across the globe, making this volume an essential resource for students and scholars engaged in the fields of medical humanities, death studies, life writing, Victorian studies, modernist studies, narrative, contemporary fiction, popular culture, and more.
