- This c.110,000-word research monograph proposing a new field of ‘literary suicidology’ includes two wide-ranging introductory chapters covering a) the interdisciplinary field of suicidology, b) the historical contexts, and c) presenting a new critico-theoretical framework for considering the question of suicide and suicidality in literature. The body of the book consists of a series of five chapters covering poetry and prose fiction by major twentieth-century Anglophone writers (Ford Madox Ford, James Joyce, Stevie Smith, Sylvia Plath, Jeffrey Eugenides, and David Foster Wallace). The monograph includes an afterword on the twentieth-century suicide memoir.
