Focusing on the cultural significance of memento mori in nineteenth-century Britain, this study delves into the fascination with preserving objects associated with the deceased. It examines how these practices reflect societal attitudes toward death, memory, and mourning, revealing the emotional and historical context behind this unique tradition. Through a blend of literary analysis and cultural commentary, the book offers insights into the ways people engaged with loss and remembrance during this period.
