Episode 20: Part One of Victorian Death

The Wayward Dragons

In this episode Kelsey will be going into part one of how Victorians saw death. People did not live that long. You would be lucky if you made it out of childhood and then you would be super lucky if you made to 50. Death was everywhere. They became very comfortable with death. They knew that everyone would die at some point. They saw omens in everything that they did. They even had superstitions about death. Kelsey goes into some of things that people considered omens and some of the superstitions that people had at the time surrounding death. Kelsey reviews The Invention of Murder: How The Victorians Revelled in Death and Detection and Created Modern Crime by: Judith Flanders. Johnny does not anything to review. *gasp*
