Although the classic tales of mystery have faded from popular
culture, avid collectors and cataloguers have ensured their place
in the annals of literature. This anthology offers readers an
exemplary sample of the hundreds of detective stories published in
19th century newspapers and magazines. All but two are stories
published before 1891, before Sherlock Holmes appeared in America.
The stories are categorized according to common motifs, including
the largely unexplored field of women in late 19th century
detection. Revealing cultural intricacies that other kinds of
fiction cannot, the literature presented here provides new insights
into the history of the detective story.
