Detecting the South in Fiction, Film, and Television
Editat de Deborah E Barker, Theresa Starkey, Scott Romineen Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 oct 2019
"Detecting the South in Fiction, Film, and Television persuasively makes the case for the centrality of the southern detective narrative to American literature and culture, illuminating the role of region in shaping hard-boiled stories about national identity, justice, and concepts of criminality. Linking work by creative writers and critics, the collection smartly sifts through complex cultural narratives to offer new clues about the working of place, power, and knowledge."--Lisa Hinrichsen, coeditor of Small-Screen Souths: Region, Identity, and the Cultural Politics of Television
"From Welty to Atkins, the plantation to the French Quarter, and Sheriff Andy Taylor to Rust Cohle, this is a truly fascinating dive into the underworlds of myriad Souths. Featuring a strong and diverse cast of scholars and novelists, Detecting the South in Fiction, Film, and Television provides new insights into southern geography, race, inequality, sexuality, class, and environment--and ultimately the nature of southernness itself--by way of the grit and violence that has always lurked inside our most cherished novels, films, and TV shows."--Matthew Christopher Hulbert, author of The Ghosts of Guerrilla Memory: How Civil War Bushwhackers Became Gunslingers in the American West
