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.
