Traditionally, the history of detective stories as a literary genre
begins in the nineteenth-century with the works of Edgar Allan Poe,
Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Emile Gaboriau, and a handful of
other writers. The nineteenth century was actually awash in
detective stories, though many, like the so-called detective
notebooks, are so rare that they lay beyond the reach of even the
most dedicated readers. This volume surveys the first fifty years
of the detective story in nineteenth-century America and England,
examining not only major works, but also the lesser
known--including contemporary pseudo-biographies, magazines, story
papers, and newspapers--only recently accessible through new media.
By rewriting the history of the mystery genre, this study opens up
new avenues for literary exploration.
