About this book

Short listed for the Opus Primum Prize

Florian Kühnel examines aristocratic suicide in the 18th and early19th centuries in search of common patterns of experience and interpretation. He illuminates the motifs and importance of honor for early modern aristocrats and discloses the difficult changes facing the aristocracy at the dawn of the modern age. What motivated aristocrats to commit suicide around 1800 and what does this tell us about their sense of personal honor?
