Crime Fiction in the City: Capital Crimes expands upon previous
studies of the urban space and crime by reflecting on the treatment
of the capital city, a repository of authority, national identity
and culture, within crime fiction. This wide-ranging collection
looks at capital cities across Europe, from the more traditional
centres of power - Paris, Rome and London - to Europe's most
northern capital, Stockholm, and also considers the newly devolved
capitals, Dublin, Edinburgh and Cardiff. The texts under
consideration span the nineteenth-century city mysteries to
contemporary populist crime fiction. The collection opens with a
reflective essay by Ian Rankin and aims to inaugurate a dialogue
between Anglophone and European crime writing; to explore the
marginalised works of Irish and Welsh writers alongside established
European crime writers and to interrogate the relationship between
fact and fiction, creativity and criticism, within the crime genre.
