A range of commentaries on suicide - including newspaper reports, coroners' inquests, religious tracts, sermons, medical studies, and legal texts - reveals the existence of a distinctly Romantic-era suicide debate, the fervour of which reflects the rise of biopower, as defined by Michel Foucault, to which suicide was the ultimate threat.
