{"product_id":"no-ordinary-deaths-molly-conisbee-9781800815889","title":"No Ordinary Deaths","description":"'A beautifully written and thought provoking journey' Professor Sue Black, author of All That RemainsHistory is dominated by A-list deaths: queens beheaded; archdukes assassinated. But what about everyone else? How did ordinary people depart this life and grieve for loved ones - and which of the old ways might help us prepare for the end?Our ancestors, living closer to death than we do, had a more intimate and integrated relationship with death as a familiar presence in daily life. From the death-watchers of the Middle Ages to the pomp of Victorian funeral wear, by way of plague pits, grave-robberies and wakes, historian and bereavement counsellor Molly Conisbee explores how cycles of dying, death and disposal have shaped - and been shaped by - society. A groundbreaking new work of social history, No Ordinary Deaths paints a rich picture of the lives of our forebears, skilfully bringing the lost art of death to life today.","brand":"Profile Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51984558326048,"sku":"9781800815889","price":10.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/no-ordinary-deaths-molly-conisbee-9781800815889","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
