Before Sherlock Holmes: How Magazines and Newspapers Invented the Detective Story
ISBN: 9780786467877 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 227 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 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.

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...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Dashiell Hammett, like most successful writers, honed his skills in the trenches.
