Nominated for the Mystery Writers of America 'Edgar Awards' "" ""
"A Counter-History of Crime Fiction" takes a new look at the
evolution of crime fiction, drawing on material from the Middle
Ages up to the early Twentieth century, when the genre was
theoretically defined as detective fiction. Considering
'criminography' as a system of inter-related, even incestuous,
sub-genres, Maurizio Ascari explores the connections between modes
of literature such as revenge tragedies and providential fictions,
the gothic and the ghost story, urban mysteries and anarchist
fiction, while taking into account the influence of pseudo-sciences
such as mesmerism and criminal anthropology.
