The Victorian View of Death

Today, outside of certain professions, it is rare for people to actually encounter death. It normally happens quietly in a hospital, with family and love ones being told after the event. However, only a century or two ago, things were very different. Despite all the technological and medical advances of the Victorian world, the populace was still very much surrounded by death. Infant mortally was incredibly high, while life expectancy, especially in some of the major cities was frightfully low. In fact, in 1842 the life expectancy of a citizen of Manchester was an appalling seventeen years, his counterpart out in the country could expect closer to thirty-seven. On top of this, most people died in their homes, often the home they were born in, often the same home where they watched their parents die. To a Victorian it was natural not only to see death, but also to see the full decline of someone towards death. Thus death was viewed as part of the natural order of things, a part of life that was to be expected and not necessarily feared.
