Description
Explore the deep connection between literature and economic theory in Economic Investigations in Twentieth-Century Detective Fiction: Expenditure, Labor, Value. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work by Yan Zi-Ling examines Golden Age and hard-boiled detective fiction from 1890 to 1950. Instead of looking only at style or theme, this study analyzes how these subgenres structure knowledge, value, and productive labor. Yan uses the detective as a lens to view socially based interests. The text explains how Golden Age stories function through conservationism to stabilize institutions with specific ideological goals. This book provides a unique perspective for students and researchers interested in how crime fiction reflects the economic realities and social structures of the twentieth century.
