Late Victorian Crime Fiction in the Shadows of Sherlock de C. Clarke

Late Victorian Crime Fiction in the Shadows of Sherlock: Crime Files

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 sep 2014

This book investigates the development of crime fiction in the 1880s and 1890s, challenging studies of late-Victorian crime fiction which have given undue prominence to a handful of key figures and have offered an over-simplified analytical framework, thereby overlooking the generic, moral, and formal complexities of the nascent genre.

Recenzii

“Clarke also subjects the texts she investigates to a systematic and nuanced analysis, revealing their reflection of contemporary social reality, larger disputed issues, tensions, anxieties, and concerns. Indeed, there are many more forgotten detective narratives that lend themselves to this type of analysis, and are yet to be explored.” (Haia Shpayer-Makov, Victorian Studies, Vol. 58 (4), 2016)
'This rigorous and passionate book will make you want to sprint to Project Gutenberg in search of the texts, as well as give you a keen appreciation of just why Victorian magazine editors vied to find the next Arthur Conan Doyle.' - Times Higher Education
