Reviews
A valuable contribution to the study of the culture of European elites. * MEDICAL HISTORY *
A very thorough and engaging book. It clarifies these differing - and frequently conflicting - stances in relation to death, present in the Castile of the fifteenth century but which also influenced the region for many years thereafter. * BRITISH BULLETIN OF PUBLICATIONS *
[This] is an excellent book on the topic. * AMERICAN ACADEMY OF RESEARCH HISTORIANS OF MEDIEVAL SPAIN *
A remarkable study of the social importance of death in fifteenth-century Castile.both a continuation of previous scholarship and a fresh look at the subject. A worthy contribution to the field. * HISPANIC JOURNAL *
Readers will surely find this an invaluable source for both primary and secondary material. * BULLETIN OF HISPANIC STUDIES *
Este trabajo destaca por la investigacion minuciosa y llena de rigor llevada a cabo y por la intuicion de la autora a la hora de definir las causas y las consecuencias de los comportamientos en la elite cuatrocentista. Recomendamos, pues, desde aqui este estudio necesario sobre las actitudes que a las llamadas ahora clases 'altas' se les proponia adoptar ante el fenomeno, siempre antropologicamente dificil, de la muerte. * REVISTA DE LITERATURA *
