Abstract:
Abstract Gravestones with Hebrew inscriptions are the most common class of Jewish monuments still present in such regions as Ukraine or Belarus. Epitaphs are related to various Biblical, Rabbinical, and liturgical texts. Despite that, the genre of Hebrew epitaphs seldom becomes an object of cultural or literary studies. In this paper, I show that a function of Hebrew epitaphs is to connect the ideal world of Hebrew sacred texts to the world of everyday life of a Jewish community. This is achieved at several levels. First, the necessary elements of an epitaph – name, date, and location marker –

Abstract:
In poetry and fiction, Herman Melville explored the epitaphic genre's capacity for destabilizing poetic voice and producing a temporality that is recursive but not necessarily recuperative. The epitaphs of Battle-Pieces (1866) invigorate the form while questioning its ability to memorialize the dead of the American Civil War.

‘Death is bad for those who die, but good for the undertakers and the grave-diggers’.

Yet the mere fact of an inscribed epitaph indicates deliberate and intentionally enduring commemoration, and therefore embodies a social attitude; epitaphs thus constitute a matter of historical importance that can be studied for the very reason that so many—in Athens over 10,000—survive.

Abstract:
The goal of this paper is to increase our understanding of what archaic verse epitaphs meant to contemporary readers. Section I suggests their fundamental message was praise of the deceased, expressed in forms characteristic of poetic encomium in its broad, rhetorical sense, i.e., praise poetry. In section II, the conventions of encomium in the epitaphs are compared to the iconographic conventions of funerary art. I conclude that verse inscriptions and grave markers, not only communicate the same message of praise, but do so in a formally parallel manner. Section III, drawing on Pindar as a pr

Abstract:
Hebrew gravestone inscriptions from Jewish cemeteries from the region called Raysn (mostly in current Belarus and partially in Ukraine) are studied as a historical source and a literature genre. The epitaphs express the idea of a connection between the ideal world of Scripture and religious Hebrew books and the world of everyday life of a shtetl or community. This can be traced at several levels. First, at the level of inscriptions’ structure, the epitaph includes an indication of the place (“here lies”), time (date), and name, thus tying the deceased to a specific “coordinate system”.

Contemporary scholarship has seen increasing interest in the study of elegy. The present work attempts to elevate and expand discussions of death and survival beyond the ambit of elegy to a more genre-inclusive and ethically sensitive survey of Romantic posthumous life writings. Combining an ethic of remembrance founded on mutual fulfilment and reciprocal care with the Romantic tendency to hybridise different genres of mourning and commemoration, the study re- conceives 'posthumous life' as the 'inexhaustible' product of endless collaboration between the dead, the dying and the living.

What would life have been like for a child growing up in Rome or in any part of Italy during the first three centuries AD? The answer to such a question is not straightforward. How does one determine that someone was a 'child'? Was this child male or female? To what social class did this child belong? 'What position did his or her parents hold in the community? Were his or her parents alive? A series of equally complex questions must therefore be addressed before the first, seemingly simple question can be approached.

Abstract Some components of the Romans’ ideology of marriage have emerged from consideration of legal structures, choice of coniunx, and wedding ritual. In Part III we shall examine popular morality, moving from the formal teachings of philosophers to the ideas expressed by poets, rhetoricians, and the authors of epitaphs. Because all Latin literature, but especially philosophical writings, was inescapably influenced by Greek tradition, it will be necessary to go back to classical Athens to disentangle some of the main themes and place Roman conventional theories in a cultural context.

This chapter addresses Zofa Nałkowska's literary Holocaust memorial Medallions, which was written in 1945 and first published in 1946. Considered a masterpiece in anti-fascist world literature, Medallions is the literary offspring of Nałkowska's wartime and commission experiences. It also stands as the culmination of her stylistic, formal, and thematic literary evolution. Medallions is one of the first, and most important, in the flow of literary accounts to take up the challenge to represent the Nazi machinery of genocide. Avoiding the tendency to mythologize the victims as either heroes or martyrs, it offers instead a concise, severely elegant witness to what people experienced in Poland during the war as distilled from the mass of facts gathered while Nałkowska served as a member of the Commission for the Investigation of War Crimes in Auschwitz.

Abstract:
This chapter turns to the medical field of pathology, sketching out a new theory of how discursive practices of medicine might be dependent on literary models by examining the history of the postmortem report in relation to the Romantic elegy. It explores a brief moment in the early nineteenth century when medical postmortem reports became widely available to the reading public. Using commemorative responses to the death of John Keats as the central example, but also reading the widely published postmortem reports of the deaths of Napoleon Bonaparte, Lord Byron, and Ludwig van Beethoven, which afforded readers an unexpected degree of closeness with the metaphorically charged bodies of the departed, the chapter focuses on how the postmortem report provides a protocol for interpreting mortality across a range of memorial genres in medical and literary fields. The postmortem report is shown to adopt certain generic qualities of earlier epitaphs, while later elegies by Percy Shelley and Alfred Tennyson continue to display the medical genre’s influence. The postmortem report is revealed to participate in a mutual exchange with literary conventions, as it first appropriates generic conventions from epitaphic literature, and then asserts a scientific protocol of taxonomical classification within humanistic discourse. When used in this commemorative field, reading bodily symptomology becomes a hermeneutics of consolation that brings its readers into intimacy with figures of genius.

Abstract:
This chapter considers William Wordsworth’s thirty-year civil service career as a Distributor of Stamps to examine how Romantic literature was shaped by several intertwined developments: the formation of a fiscal bureaucracy in Britain during the long eighteenth century, the attendant proliferation of bureaucratic genres and media, and utilitarian theories of administrative efficiency. This chapter argues that Wordsworth’s writing responds to what it calls bureaucratic form: the form taken by writing when the efficient capturing and communicating of data, or “particulars,” are principal considerations. Operating in concert with the contemporaneous virtue of brevity in writing and long-standing concerns about brevitas in literature, bureaucratic form made the economical collection and delivery of information an ideal for all kinds of writing. This chapter shows that Lyrical Ballads (1798), Essays upon Epitaphs (comp. 1810), and above all, The Excursion (1814) accommodate, as much as they ignore, the rule of streamlined writing.

Abstract:
In the first quarter of the nineteenth century, just a handful of children’s press titles were circulating, with the didactic and evangelical output of the Sunday Schools and Religious Tract Society dominating. From 1866 to 1914, more than 500 children’s periodicals came into circulation, featuring well over 80 newspaper ‘children’s columns’, as publishers sought to produce reading that increasingly reflected the common pursuits of the widest range of juveniles. This piece undertakes a chronological account of the periodical growth in children’s literature over the course of the century, including the development of the boy’s papers from the 1850s onwards, and moves by publishers to broaden appeal by producing unisex publications such as Cassell’s Little Folks. The second half of the nineteenth century saw development of ‘house’ periodicals of campaigning movements, such as the RSPCA’s Band of Mercy. From the mid-century, newspapers began featuring children’s columns written for children, with purpose of educating young readers, organising charitable work and acting as a forum for carrying epitaphs for child readers. Such themes are examined through the lens of the most successful children’s column, the Newcastle Weekly Chronicle’s Dicky Bird Society, which began in 1876.
