Narrative Mourning argues that the cultural disappearance of the dead/dying body in eighteenth-century Britain found expression in fictional representations of the relic (object) or relict (person) within certain British novels. These relics/relicts exist as material signs of loss and as compensation for loss, they exist as surrogates for the absent (living, dead, or dying) and as reliquaries for their “psychic” essences.
