Samenvatting

A COMPANION TO CRIME FICTION

This cutting edge Companion brings together a series of 47 original essays from some of the world's leading authorities to provide the definitive guide to crime fiction from its origins in the eighteenth century to its phenomenal present-day popularity.

Part One follows the development of crime fiction over the last three centuries, examining the traditions and conventions of the genre, as well as its cultural and social contexts, before moving on, in Part Two, to explore the different types of genres and subgenres that have emerged.
