Suicide in Opera
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
Atkinson (1971), in his chapter studying the role which coroners and research workers play in defining suicide, noted that by 1927 Hans Rost's bibliography of suicide cited nearly 4,000 works on the subject, while 2,000 further publications were listed by Schneidmann and Farberow between 1927 and 1961. He had personally traced another 300 studies subsequently. In the face of this vast output one hesitates to add yet another paper. However, historical surveys of popular views on suicide have received relatively scant attention, much of the most valuable work being carried out by historians.
