Critical Essays on English and Bengali Detective Fiction brings
together three strains of detective fiction: British, American, and
Bengal. The import of detective fiction from Britain has influenced
generations of writers of Bengali detective fiction. In this
anthology of critical essays by scholars on detective fiction, we
have divided the contents into three groups. First, there are
essays on classic British detective fiction, with essays on Charles
Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie,
P.D.James, Kate Atkinson, and Margery Allingham. The second section
is on American hard-boiled fiction with essays on Dashiell Hammett
and Raymond Chandler. The third section is on Bengali detective
fiction with essays on Hemendra Kumar Roy, Saradindu Bandyopadhay
and Satyajit Ray. Together, these essays bring three strains of
detective fiction into conversation to show the gradual
postcolonial attempt of Bengali detective fiction to outgrow
colonial influences and create an original and organic tradition of
regional and vernacular detective fiction.
