Reviews
Tyge Krogh has provided an interesting and useful study, based primarily on Danish court records, that is the first book-length analysis of suicidal murders. [He has] written the most complete and compelling analysis thus far of the perplexing early modern phenomenon of suicide murders. Jeffrey R. Watts, Church History and Religious Culture, Vol. 93, No. 1 (2013), pp. 147-148 [A] valuable study that will remain the standard work on suicide murder for years to come. Pieter Spierenburg, Historisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 112 (2012), pp. 612-615 Tyge Krogh [har] med denne bog begaet et glimrende og ganske losevordigt studie af et noget gruopvokkende emne. Det internationale perspektiv understreger Kroghs analyser af det danske materiale pa en ganske overbevisende og skarpsindig made og gor at bogen appellerer til internationale forskningskredse. Michael Nobel Jakobsen, 1066 Tidsskrift for historie, Vol. 42, No. 3 (2012), pp. 60-63 Kroghs fornemme studie star storkt med sine stramt fremlagte resultater og velargumenterede konklusioner. Bogen er forbilledligt kortfattet, men man fornemmer alligevel det store - og i dansk sammenhong tematisk enestaende - arbejde, der ligger bag. Af Ulrik Langen, Weekendavisen No. 12, 23 March 2012, p. 7.
[S]ei festgehalten, dass Tyge Krogh mit dem vorliegenden Buch eine anregende, gut strukturierte Studie vorlegt, die eine wichtige Erganzung und Bereicherung fur die historische Kriminalitatsforschung und Suizidforschung darstellt. Nicht zuletzt kann die Lekture als Inspiration fur weiterfuhrende Untersuchungen, vor allem uber den katholischen Raum, gesehen werden. - Evelyne Luef, in: Recensio.net (Fruhneuzeit-Info) 24 (2013), pp. 104-105 Tyge Krogh has provided an interesting and useful study, based primarily on Danish court records, that is the first book-length analysis of suicidal murders.
