Living with the Dead is a book that calls out to be read and thoughtfully discussed- by historians, Christians, teachers, ministers and lay leaders. In a study that revisits the past with the hope of informing the present, Daniel J. Butt offers evidence, observations, insights and stirring reflections on the language used to describe the dead and dying in Victorian Britain. This edition is fully footnoted and contains a Bibliography of sources. (cover image taken by the author in Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh, Scotland in 2013).
