In Andrew Bennett'??s recently published Suicide Century (2017), the author writes that suicide "??streams like a poison through the tainted life blood of the modernist literary canon." And yet work on modernism and suicide is scarce; in fact, work on "??literary suicidology" more generally has not matched the subject'??s importance to our field. This panel would like to build on the work of Bennett and a few others (Al Alvarez, Jeffrey Berman) and examine the representation and non-representation of suicide in modernist texts.

Interdisciplinary approaches as well as proposals that concern underrepresented writers are especially welcome.
