Death and Gender in the Early Modern Period: Death in History, Culture, and Society, cartea 2

Enrique Fernandez, Darlene Abreu-Ferreira
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 mar 2024
In premodern Europe, the gender identity of those waiting for Doomsday in their tombs could be reaffirmed, readjusted, or even neutralized. Testimonies of this renegotiation of gender at the encounter with death is detectable in wills, letters envisioning oneself as dead, literary narratives, provisions for burial and memorialization, the laws for the disposal of those executed for heinous crimes and the treatment of human remains as relics.
