The Rural Cemetery Movement

Places of Paradox in Nineteenth-Century America

Omschrijving

This study provides a cultural history of cemeteries and their changing role from the 1830s through the early twentieth century. The author examines how cemeteries became places for leisure, communing with nature, and crafting collective memory and analyzes how they served as prototypes for urban planning and city parks.
