A Counter-History of Crime Fiction

Supernatural, Gothic, Sensational

5.0/5.00 bei 3 Reviews - aus dem Web

This book takes a look at the evolution of crime fiction. Considering 'criminography' as a system of inter-related sub-genres, it explores the connections between modes of literature such as revenge tragedies, the gothic and anarchist fiction, while taking into account the influence of pseudo-sciences such as mesmerism and criminal anthropology.
