Crime Fiction [EPUB ebook] 

Stöd

Crime Fiction provides a lively introduction to what is both a wide-ranging and hugely popular literary genre. Using examples from a variety of novels, short stories, films and televisions series, John Scaggs:


  • presents a concise history of crime fiction – from biblical narratives to James Ellroy – broadening the genre to include revenge tragedy and the gothic novel

  • explores the key sub-genres of crime fiction, such as ”Rational Criminal Investigation”, The Hard-Boiled Mode”, ”The Police Procedural” and ”Historical Crime Fiction”

  • locates texts and their recurring themes and motifs in a wider social and historical context

  • outlines the various critical concepts that are central to the study of crime fiction, including gender, narrative theory and film theory

  • considers contemporary television series like C.S.I.: Crime Scene Investigation alongside the ”classic” whodunnits of Agatha Christie.


Accessible and clear, this comprehensive overview is the essential guide for all those studying crime fiction and concludes with a look at future directions for the genre in the twentieth-first century.
