Book Synopsis The Rural Cemetery Movement by : Jeffrey Smith
Book excerpt: This study provides a cultural history of cemeteries and their changing role from the 1830s through the early twentieth century. The author examines how cemeteries became places for leisure, communing with nature, and crafting collective memory and analyzes how they served as prototypes for urban planning and city parks.
