Is this plant dead?

It's leaves are very dry. I've recently reported and water regularly but it hasn't revived. Also I've no idea what plant it is which might have helped.

What can I do, if anything ??

It looks like a peace lily but I'm not sure. Is the soil very wet underneath by any chance? When my houseplants look unhappy I try changing the variables, so try watering less, or giving a drop of feed, or moving to a brighter/cooler/warmer spot. Give it a few days and see if it revives. Doesn't look too bad right now though.

Feed, water, put it on the draining board in the kitchen for a few days without the outer pot.

It’s an aspidistra I think, usually as tough as old boots but I killed mine overwatering it 🙄🫣
If it’s overwatered it will rot; feel the soil, if it’s soggy take it out of the pot and repot with dry compost and keep your fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Not an Aspidistra, although it looks similar. I’d guess a peace lily too. Never leave pots in cover pots when watering, as that leads to root rot - always drain the pot afterwards.

Thanks everyone for all the useful advice 😀
