I am analyzing samples of life writing and comparing those depicitions of grief and death to examples in popular literature.<br /><br />I am struggling to find th eliterature though! So far I have Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Dickens' Old Curiosity Shop, and possible North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell.<br /><br />I am looking for book recommendations that:<ul><li>Fall into the Victorian era published by authors from the UK</li><li>Depict some sort of death, funeral, expression of grief.</li><li>** Bonus points if it has a woman dying</li></ul>I wouldn't mine poems either.<br /><br />Thank you!<br />-M<br type="_moz" /><br type="_moz" /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=findthatbook&ditemid=81116" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://findthatbook.dreamwidth.org/81116.html death victorian literature religion mourning grief memory dickens hardy gaskell victorian dying public mestrae 6
