Trade Paperback. Zustand: Fine. First Edition. 1st paperback editioned. Oversize trade paperback. A fine, unread copy with just a touch of soioling to bottom of pages from shelf, in stiff wrappers. Explores the uncommonly long and rich relationship between the fictional. detective and his or her South. A Southerner, Poe, invented the genre; some of the greatest writers to exploit the genre--Poe, Twain, Faulkner-- have been Southern; and some of the best contemporary writers -- James Lee Burke, Patricia Cornwell, and Carl Hiaasen at the very least-- are Southern. It begins with the New Orleans expatriate, Legrand, uncovering Captain Kidd's treasure on an island off Charleston, South Carolina; it covers the satires and parodies of Mark Twain and the polished stories of Melville Davisson Post and Irvin S. Cobb; and it concludes with surveys of the many good and excellent writers who are using the form of the detective story today.At the center of the book lies an analysis of William Faulkner's exploitation of the genre. Over 360+ pages. Book.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. This critical text examines the fiction of Earl Derr Biggers, S. S. Van Dine, and Dashiell Hammett during a crucial half-decade when they transformed the detective story.

Paperback. Zustand: New. The hard-boiled style of detective fiction emerged in America in the years after the First World War. In the late 1940s, following the Depression, the New Deal, and the Second World War, a new generation of young writers revisited the conventions governing the fictional private eye, and began to move him (the tough detective was still always male) and his world in new directions. This book examines the work of the four most important writers of this second generation of hard-boiled fiction. It offers the first substantial literary analysis of the Max Thursday novels of Wade Miller and the Carney Wilde novels of Bart Spicer, and it develops new perspectives on the well-known Mike Hammer novels of Mickey Spillane and the Lew Archer novels of Ross Macdonald. A particular focus is upon the theme of the detective's status as a loner who succeeds in discovering truth and achieving justice because he works outside organized social structures.…
