Reviews

"...excellence and breadth...accessibility and...[a] sensitivity of its authors to perennial questions of mourning and its expressions...Standouts for a wider audience are Stephen Behrendt's essay on the death of Princess Charlotte in 1817, so hauntingly reminiscent of the outpouring of grief after the death of Princess Diana, and Lloyd Edward Kermode's essay on Paul Monette. Highly recommended." Library Journal, May 2005.
