- This monograph (pp. x + 225) represents a substantial piece of work on an under-researched area of Dickens studies, conducted over a period of six years. It examines the Victorian commodification of death in considerable depth in relation to novels and journalism from Dickens's early, mid, and late career, alongside consideration of the place of death in Victorian culture via a diverse range of literary and historical sources (including newspapers, adverts, exhibition catalogues, and travelogues). Each of the four chapters is equivalent in intellectual content to a journal article.
