Description

From its inception, American detective fiction has been adaptable to a multiplicity of artistic, personal, ideological, and political programmes. Moving in roughly chronological fashion, this book highlights detection's malleability by analysing texts by particular groups of authors from specific time periods written in response to other texts. Specifically, it traces some of the roles that gender, race, and empire have played in American detective fiction from Edgar Allan Poe to hard-boiled fiction.
