Beschreibung:
Philippe Ariès (1914-1984) was a French historian best known for his book Centuries of Childhood, the seminal study that launched historical scholarship on childhood and family life in the Western world.
Reveals the change in Western man's conception and acceptance of death as evidenced in customs, literature, and art since medieval times. The Johns Hopkins Symposia in Comparative History are occasional volumes sponsored by the Department of History at The Johns Hopkins University and The Johns Hopkins University Press. Each considers, from a comparative perspective, an important topic of current historical interest and comprises original essays by leading scholars in the United States and other countries. The present volume is the fourth.
