Suicide Century investigates suicide as a prominent theme in
twentieth-century and contemporary literature. Andrew Bennett
argues that with the waning of religious and legal prohibitions on
suicide in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and the
increasing influence of medical and sociological accounts of its
causes and significance in the twentieth century, literature
responds to the act and idea as an increasingly normalised but
incessantly baffling phenomenon. Discussing works by a number of
major authors from the long twentieth century, the book explores
the way that suicide makes and unmakes subjects, assumes and
disrupts meaning, induces and resists empathy, and insists on and
makes inconceivable our understanding of ourselves and of others.
