The contributions range widely geographically, from Scotland to Transylvania, and address a spectrum of themes: attitudes toward the corpse, patterns of burial, forms of commemoration, the treatment of dead infants, the nature of the afterlife, and ghosts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46896647667863,"sku":"9780521642569","price":12090.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780521642569.webp?v=1770359414","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-place-of-the-dead-9780521642569","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
