It argues that the cultural disappearance of the dead\/dying body and the introduction of consciousness as humanity's newfound soul found expression in fictional representations of the relic (object) or relict (person). In the six novels examined in this monograph--Samuel Richardson's \u003ci\u003eClarissa\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSir Charles Grandison\u003c\/i\u003e; Sarah Fielding's \u003ci\u003eDavid Simple \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eVolume the Last\u003c\/i\u003e; Henry Mackenzie's \u003ci\u003eThe Man of Feeling\u003c\/i\u003e; and Ann Radcliffe's \u003ci\u003eThe Mysteries of Udolpho\u003c\/i\u003e--the appearance of the relic\/relict signals narrative mourning and expresses (often obliquely) changing cultural attitudes toward the dead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by Bucknell University Press.
