Connecting Detectives: The Influence of 19th Century Sleuth Fiction on the Early Hard-Boileds
Connecting Detectives: The Influence of 19th
Century Sleuth Fiction on the Early Hard-Boileds
by Lewis D. Moore.
Published by 2014.
Paperback.
ISBN-13: 978-0786477715
A literary examination of the influence of
19th century sleuths on the early hard-boiled investigators, this book explores
the importance of works by Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins and
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to the development of detective series by Carroll John
Daly, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Brett Halliday, Mickey Spillane,
Thomas B. Dewey, John D. MacDonald, Ross Macdonald, Richard S. Prather and
William Campbell Gault. Authors from the transitional (1964-1977) and modern periods
(1979 to the present) are also discussed to show the ongoing influence of the
19th century detective writers.
I need more books ...
It literally
stresses me out how many good books are out there that I still haven't read.
