Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An intellectual and literary history of the professionalization of suicidology at the turn of the 20th century which shows that fiction played a significant role in the transformation of the debates on voluntary death.In 19th-century England, the main point of contention around suicide was the punis…hment. Should 'self-murderers' still be staked through the heart Should the crown continue to seize their assets In the 20th century, the questions shifted to motives: Why does someone commit suicide What does it feel like to be suicidal And can these questions, asked about a subject who is no longer present, be answered without their testimony As The Dead Cannot Reply shows, the emphasis shifted from effects to causes.Fiction, unbound by factual truth, offers an ideal space for these debates. Nicholas Nickleby, Jane Eyre, and Daniel Deronda illustrate the 19th-century understanding of suicide as a public event whose meaning is located in its meaning for others. The Man of Property and The Good Soldier confront the limits of our understanding on the subject. Mrs. Dalloway imagines what it feels like to take the leap, and Golden Age detective fiction, like Émile Durkheim and his contemporaries, finds the answer to suicide in the suicidal 'type.' Meanwhile, D.H. Lawrence, like Sigmund Freud, identifies a self-destructive urge, or a death drive, in modern man.The Dead Cannot Reply combines close readings of major Victorian and modernist novels alongside popular and scientific texts on suicide to examine how questions of teleology, causality, and phenomenology were answered in the English imagination.
