Its origins can be traced back to major developments in Anglo-American law, like the concept of circumstantial evidence and the rise of lawyers as heroic figures. Edgar Allen Poe's writings further fueled this cultural phenomenon, with the use of enigmas and conundrums in his detective stories, as well as the hunt-and-chase action of early police detective novels. Poe was only one staple of the genre, with detective fiction contributing to a thriving literary market that later influenced Arthur Conan Doyle's work. This text examines the emergence of short detective fiction in the nineteenth century, as well as the appearance of detectives in Victorian novels. It explores how the genre has captivated readers for centuries, with the chapters providing a framework for a more complete understanding of nineteenth-century detective fiction"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 00 $t The adventures of Sherlock Holmes. $t Circumstantial evidence -- $t Edgar Allan Poe -- $t Enter the detective -- $t Serial heroes and detective stories -- $t Detectives in novels -- $t Arthur Conan Doyle: the early novels -- $t The adventures of Sherlock Holmes. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories, Commonwealth (English) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Commonwealth fiction (English) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a American fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807048 650 7 $a Commonwealth fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869848 650 7 $a Detective and mystery stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00891461 650 7 $a Detective and mystery stories, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00891483 650 7 $a Detective and mystery stories, Commonwealth (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01747805 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031906.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3FEF28DA072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
