The Boy Detectives: Essays on the Hardy Boys and Others
ISBN: 9780786460335 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much has been written about the girl sleuth in fiction, a feminist figure who embodies all the potential wit, drive and zest of girlhood. Her male counterpart, however, has received much less critical attention despite his popularity in the wider culture. This collection of twelve essays examines the boy detective and his genre from a wide variety of critical perspectives and address issues involving these young characters who stand on the cusp of manhood and boyhood, heirs to the patriarchy yet still concerned with first crushes and soda shop romances. Series explored include the Hardy Boys,...

Adapting Detective Fiction: Crime, Englishness and the TV Detectives
ISBN: 9781847063076 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Adapting Detective Fiction is a study of specific instances of adaptation, with close readings of both the originating sources and adapted texts. But it is also more than this. It is a study of the politics of representation in the last decades of the twentieth century, and the role television detective fiction plays in this. It is about the mutually-informing interrelation of cultural texts and political rhetoric, about the connection between the popular-cultural depiction of crime and criminality and how we come to understand human behaviour and culpability; most of all, it is a detailed...

Wilkie Collins, Vera Caspary and the Evolution of the Casebook Novel
ISBN: 9780786447862 / Angielski / Miękka / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wilkie Collins was one of the most popular novelists during England's Victorian era. While Collins scholarship has often focused on social issues, this critical study explores his formal ingenuity, particularly the novel of testimony constructed from epistolary fiction, trial reports, and prose monologue. His innovations in form were later mirrored by Vera Caspary, who adapted The Woman in White three times into contemporary fiction. This text explores how the formal dialogue between Collins and Caspary has linked sensation fiction with noir thrillers and film noir.

The Poisonous Pen of Agatha Christie
ISBN: 9780292728646 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Poisoning occurs in over half of Agatha Christie's many novels and stories. In fact, she used a larger number and broader selection of poisons and medicines, for a wider variety of purposes, with greater frequency, ingenuity, and scientific accuracy than any other detective fiction writer. Yet very little has been written on the use of drugs, poisons, and chemicals in Christie's fiction. The Poisonous Pen of Agatha Christie entertainingly and authoritatively fills this gap. Michael Gerald explores the use of poisons and drugs in Christie's fiction not only to commit... Poisoning occurs in over half of Agatha Christie's many novels and stories.
