The book deals diachronically with Irish crime fiction, from the
picaresque of the 17th century up to the late 1990s when the
«Emerald Noir» boom began. Irish writers, often without due
recognition, have been instrumental in the development of the genre
on an international level, and figures such as Le Fanu, Meade,
Childers, Wills Crofts have been responsible for many of the
innovations in crime fiction which have later become standard. This
book examines Irish crime writing in its widest sense, from the
detective mystery to the spy thriller, and seeks to vindicate the
relevance of the Irish contribution to the field of crime fiction
as well as stressing the importance of crime writing within the
field of Irish Studies. This work traces Irish crime fiction from
the early appropriation of the picaresque, which would gain
resonance throughout Europe, through the gothic, the early
detective tale, to the Irish contribution to the Golden Age
mystery, to Irish hard-boiled pulp and inner-city police
procedurals in which crimes committed by Irish criminals are
investigated by Irish agents of detection.
