Description:
Until
recently, only a privileged few could read the rare, early writings that formed
the basis of detective fiction in America and made it one of the most popular
literary genres of the 19th century. Drawing on the unprecedented access
provided by digital collections of period newspapers and magazines, this book
examines detective fiction during its formative years, focusing on such crucial
elements as setting, lawyers and the law, physicians and forensics, women as
victims and heroes, crime and criminals, and police and detectives.
