Nineteenth-century
Britons treasured objects of daily
life that had once belonged to their dead. The love of
these keepsakes« which included hair, teeth, and other
remains, speaks of an intimacy with the body and
death» a way of understanding absence through its
materials, which is less widely felt today. Deborah
Lutz
analyzes relic culture as an affirmation that objects
held memories and told stories. These practices show
a belief in keeping death vitally intertwined with life
-
not as memento
mori
but rather as respecting the
singularity of unique beings. In a consumer culture
in full swing by the 1850s, keepsakes of loved ones
stood out as nonreproducibie, authentic things
whose value was purely personal. Through close
reading of the works of Charles Dickens, Emily Bronte*
Alfred Lord Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, and others» this
study illuminates the treasuring of objects that had
belonged to or touched the dead.
