Beschreibung:
This book takes a look at the evolution of crime fiction. Considering 'criminography' as a system of inter-related sub-genres, it explores the connections between modes of literature such as revenge tragedies, the gothic and anarchist fiction, while taking into account the influence of pseudo-sciences such as mesmerism and criminal anthropology.
An innovative approach to the history of crime fiction, exploring its connections with the gothic, the supernatural, the sensational and pseudo-science
