Alexander Murray

Alexander Murray is an emeritus fellow of University College, Oxford. The Violent against Themselves came out in paperback last August. It is volume one – three are planned – of Suicide in the Middle Ages. Volume two will go into paperback this year but he is still huffing and puffing over volume three.
