Description: London: City of the Dead by Alan Brooke, David Brandon Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description London City of the Dead Publisher Description London: City of the Dead is a groundbreaking account of Londons dealing with death, covering the afterlife, execution, bodysnatching, murder, fatal disease, spiritualism, bizarre deaths and cemeteries. Taking the reader from Roman London to the glorious dead of the First World War, this is the first systematic look at Londons culture of death, with analysis of its customs and superstitions, rituals and representations. The authors of the celebrated London: The Executioners City (Sutton, 2006) weave their way through the streets of London once again, this time combining some of the capitals most curious features, such as Londons Necropolis Railway and Brookwood Cemetery, with the culture of death exposed in the works of great writers such as Dickens. The book captures for the first time a side of the city that has always been every bit as fascinating and colourful as other better known aspects of the metropolis. It shows London in all its moods - serious, comic, tragic and heroic-and celebrates its robust acceptance of the only certainty in life. Author Biography David Brandon and Alan Brooke also collaborated on Tyburn: Londons Fatal Tree.
