This is the first serious historical study of a central human
problem. Suicide is a long-standing concern of sociologists,
psychiatrists, social workers, and moralists. Here Olive Anderson
provides a new dimension for understanding suicidal behaviour and
responses to it, and a chapter in the general history of death. In
doing so she makes a substantial contribution to many aspects of
the history of Victorian and Edwardian England. Using different
combinations of historical techniques and sources (including
coroners' private case papers), Professor Anderson examines in turn
four major elements in the study of suicide: suicide rates and
distributions; individual experiences; social attitudes; and
efforts and prevention. Her lucid and humane approach to this
sensitive subject opens up new perspectives on the significance of
time, place, age, and gender; on law, literature, medicine, and
collective mentalities; and on the police, philanthropy, and public
policy.
