This book expertly weaves together analysis of historical, archaeological and literary sources to provide a uniquely interdisciplinary look at the entire phenomenon. Now in its second edition, Daniell's book incorporates the latest findings derived from DNA and isotope analysis, providing readers with a case study of the discovery and results from the skeleton of Richard III. New chapters examine 'deviant' burials and the role of revenants and ghosts, whilst the final chapter introduces new theories regarding the Black Death's transformative societal impact - the heightened desire for small group structures, such as nuclear families or guilds, and the increased centrality of the human body in religious and artistic representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is of value to students, scholars and anyone interested in the history of death, archaeology, anthropology and medieval English life and ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristopher Daniell\u003c\/strong\u003e is a senior historic building advisor for the UK government, advising on listed buildings.
