This open access book examines how the form of the list features as
a tool for meaning-making in the genre of detective fiction from
the nineteenth to the twenty-first century. The book analyzes how
both readers and detectives rely on listing as an ordering and
structuring tool, and highlights the crucial role that lists assume
in the reading process. It extends the boundaries of an emerging
field dedicated to the study of lists in literature and caters to a
newly revived interest in form and New Formalist approaches in
narratological research. The central aim of this book is to show
how detective fiction makes use of lists in order to frame various
conceptions of knowledge. The frames created by these lists are
crucial to decoding the texts, and they can be used to demonstrate
how readers can be engaged in the act of detection or manipulated
into accepting certain propositions in the text.
