Reading Early Hammett: A Critical Study of the Fiction Prior to the Maltese Falcon

This detailed examination of the early...

Origins of the American Detective Story
ISBN: 9780786427765 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Edgar Allan Poe essentially invented the detective story in 1841 with Murders in the Rue Morgue. In the years that followed, however, detective fiction in America saw no significant progress as a literary genre. Much to the dismay of moral crusaders like Anthony Comstock, dime novels and other sensationalist publications satisfied the public's hunger for a yarn. Things changed as the century waned, and eventually the detective was reborn as a figure of American literature. In part these changes were due to a combination of social conditions, including the rise and decline of the police...

Traditionally, the history of detective stories as a literary genre begins in the 19th century with the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Emile Gaboriau and a handful of other writers.
