Book Synopsis Classic American Crime Fiction of the 1920s by : Leslie S Klinger
Download or read book Classic American Crime Fiction of the 1920s written by Leslie S Klinger and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic American Crime Writing of the 1920s—including House Without a Key, The Benson Murder Case, The Tower Treasure, The Roman Hat Mystery, The Tower Treasure, and Little Caesar—offers some of the very best of that decade’s writing. Earl Derr Biggers wrote about Charlie Chan, a Chinese-American detective, at a time when racism was rampant. S. S. Van Dine invented Philo Vance, an effete, rich amateur psychologist who flourished while America danced and the stock market rose. Edwin Stratemeyer, a man of mystery himself, singlehandedly created the juvenile mystery, with the beloved Hardy Boys series. The quintessential American detective Ellery Queen leapt onto the stage, to remain popular for fifty years. W. R. Burnett, created the indelible character of Rico, the first gangster antihero. Each of the five novels included is presented in its original published form, with extensive historical and cultural annotations and illustrations added by Edgar-winning editor Leslie S. Klinger, allowing the reader to experience the story to its fullest. Klinger's detailed foreword gives an overview of the history of American crime writing from its beginnings in the early years of America to the twentieth century.

Book Synopsis The Origins of the American Detective Story by : LeRoy Lad Panek
Download or read book The Origins of the American Detective Story written by LeRoy Lad Panek and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-01-24 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edgar Allan Poe essentially invented the detective story in 1841 with Murders in the Rue Morgue. In the years that followed, however, detective fiction in America saw no significant progress as a literary genre. Much to the dismay of moral crusaders like Anthony Comstock, dime novels and other sensationalist publications satisfied the public's hunger for a yarn. Things changed as the century waned, and eventually the detective was reborn as a figure of American literature. In part these changes were due to a combination of social conditions, including the rise and decline of the police as an institution; the parallel development of private detectives; the birth of the crusading newspaper reporter; and the beginnings of forensic science. Influential, too, was the new role model offered by a wildly popular British import named Sherlock Holmes. Focusing on the late 19th century and early 20th, this volume covers the formative years of American detective fiction.

Book excerpt: Beloved, best-selling author Tony Hillerman and mystery maven Otto Penzler have gathered 100 years' worth of peerless suspense tales into a volume every fan will cherish. In just three annual editions, THE BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES has established itself as a favorite among readers and as the fastest growing of all the Best American series.

The editors winnowed these fifty-five selections out of a thousand stories, drawing on sources as diverse as ELLERY QUEEN'S MYSTERY MAGAZINE and ESQUIRE, COLLIER'S and THE NEW YORKER. Giants of the genre abound -- Raymond Chandler, Lawrence Block, Sue Grafton, Elmore Leonard, Sara Paretsky, and more -- but the editors also unearthed gems by luminaries rarely found in suspense anthologies: William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, Ring Lardner, Damon Runyon, James Thurber, and Joyce Carol Oates. Nowhere else can readers find a more thorough, more engaging, more essential distillation of American suspense.
