\'This Rash Act\'
754 Kč
What made some 700 men and women in the Yorkshire town of Kingston-upon-Hull in the years 1837 to 1900 take their lives? This book attempts to answer this question and also to study how suicide was understood by victims, families, and friends; how the causes of suicide changed over time; and what coroners\' inquests can tell us about Victorian life, beliefs, and values in general.
