Description

This Routledge collection examines crime fiction's essential role in American literary traditions through essays by leading scholars. Rather than limiting the genre to Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, the book explores a broader landscape encompassing Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Richard Wright, Flannery O'Connor, Cormac McCarthy and other major fiction writers. The essays provide detailed analysis of both the artistic merit and cultural significance of crime fiction in the United States, offering fresh perspectives on how the genre has shaped American literature. This interdisciplinary work demonstrates that crime fiction deserves recognition as a fundamental component of U.S. literary traditions, not merely a popular entertainment form.

Key Features

Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature series explores crime fiction's importance across American literary history and traditions.

Leading scholars provide detailed critical analysis of both the artistic quality and cultural impact of crime fiction in United States literature.
