Description

This book reveals subversive representations of gender, race and class in detective dime novels (1860-1915), arguing that inherent tensions between subversive and conservative impulses―theorized as contamination and containment―explain detective fiction's ongoing popular appeal to readers and to writers such as Twain and Faulkner.
