  • Ellery Queen Master Detective
    Ellery Queen Master Detective Ellery Queen was one of two brainchildren of the team of cousins, Fred Dannay and Manfred B. Lee. Dannay and Lee entered a writing contest, envisioning a stuffed‐shirt author called Ellery Queen who solved mysteries and then wrote about them. Queen relied on his keen powers of observation and deduction, being a Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson rolled into one. But just as Holmes needed his Watson ‐‐ a character with whom the average reader could identify ‐‐ the character Ellery Queen had his father, Inspector Richard Queen, who not only served in that function but also gave Ellery the access he needed to poke his nose into police business. Dannay and Lee chose the pseudonym of Ellery Queen as their (first) writing moniker, for it was only natural ‐‐ since the character Ellery was writing mysteries ‐‐ that their mysteries should be the ones that Ellery Queen wrote. They placed first in the contest, and their first novel was accepted and published by Frederick Stokes. Stokes would go on to release over a dozen "Ellery Queen" publications. At the beginning, "Ellery Queen" the author was marketed as a secret identity. Ellery Queen (actually one of the cousins, usually Dannay) would appear in public masked, as though he were protecting his identity. The buying public ate it up, and so the cousins did it again. By 1932 they had created "Barnaby Ross," whose existence had been foreshadowed by two comments in Queen novels. Barnaby Ross composed four novels about aging actor Drury Lane. After it was revealed that "Barnaby Ross is really Ellery Queen," the novels were reissued bearing the Queen name.

They trace the roots of the detective form back to Oedipus and to the Bible. But the detective story as a genre is a product of the nineteenth century; it developed alongside the new police forces and detective agencies in the new industrial cities suc h as Paris and London, which required organized forms of municipal control and law enforcement and which used scientific methods of detection.

    This page intentionally left blank The Cambridge Companion to Crime Fiction The Cambridge Companion to Crime Fiction covers British and American crime fiction from the eighteenth century to the end of the twentieth. As well as discussing the ‘detective’ fiction of writers like Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie and Raymond Chandler, it considers other kinds of fiction where crime plays a substantial part, such as the thriller and spy fiction. It also includes chapters on the treatment of crime in eighteenth-century literature, French and Victorian fiction, women and black detectives, crime in film and on TV, police fiction and postmodernist uses of the detective form. The collection, by an international team of established specialists, offers students invaluable reference material including a chronology and guides to further reading.

    All Scientific Stuff: Science, Expertise, and Everyday Reality in 1926 by Brian S. Matzke A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in The University of Michigan 2013 Doctoral Committee: Professor Eric S. Rabkin, Chair Professor John S. Carson Professor June M. Howard Professor Alan M. Wald Copyright © Brian S. Matzke 2013 Dedication To my parents, Charles Matzke and Janice Beecher, who taught me to read, to write, to think, and to question. ii Acknowledgements Many scholars have mentored and advised me over the years, and I am grateful to all of them for the insights that they have provided and the knowledge that they have imparted. This project began as a paper in John Whittier-Ferguson’s graduate seminar on modernism, and from that beginning, numerous professors’ influences have shaped this book. I would like to thank George Bornstein, John Carson, Gregg Crane, Paul Edwards, Gabrielle Hecht, June Howard, Steve Jackson, Howard Markel, Susan Parrish, Eric Rabkin, Paddy Scannell, Derek Vaillant, Alan Wald, and Patricia Yaeger. In addition to the faculty at the University of Michigan, I received tremendous insights and support from my colleagues both at Michigan and other institutions. Their comments on drafts and their recommendations at every stage of the writing process were invaluable to me. I am grateful to Alex Beringer, Geremy Carnes, MicKenzie Fasteland, Molly Hatcher, Korey Jackson, Chung-Hao Ku, Konstantina Karageorgos, Corinne Martin, Karen McConnell, Nathaniel Mills, Daniel Mintz, and Michael Tondre. Some ideas from the chapter on Amazing Stories have their basis in my work with the Genre Evolution Project, and I am thankful to the members of the project for their inspiration, in particular, Eric Rabkin, Carl Simon, Rebecca Adams, Zach Wright, Meg Hixon, and Dayna Smith.

  • New Pulp-Related Books and Periodicals Available from Michael Chomko for February 2007
    New pulp-related books and periodicals available from Michael Chomko for February 2007 I spent most of January playing catch-up with orders that I had hoped to ship in December. It was probably a record month for book shipments; at least it seemed that way to me. February should be a little less hectic, but with all the new, pulp-related books now available, it looks like most of my time off from the operating room will be spent shipping books to customers. Today, with all the reprint material available on a monthly basis, we’re almost seeing the rebirth of the pulp magazine industry. Between Girasol Collectables and Adventure House releasing six pulp replicas each and every month, Nostalgia Ventures reprinting two Shadow and two Doc Savage novels every month, and all the other reprints such as High Adventure, Spider Doubles, and Battered Silicon’s Lost Treasures from the Pulps, there’s a lot of material for the pulp fan to add to his or her collection. Even with so much pulp stuff to choose from, there’s always room for older material on your bookshelf. Canadian pulp fan Anthea Platt has mailed a list of pulp-related material to me that she’d like to clear off her bookshelves. Practically all of it was published by Robert Weinberg, with 17 Pulp Classics, 4 Lost Fantasies , 2 Incredible Adventures , and an issue of Pulp among the pickings. There’s also a numbered copy of Gary Lovisi’s The Nemesis , one of just 500 published. She didn’t list prices or conditions; so the details I have are sketchy.

  • The Crime Thriller in Context Kate Watson
    The Crime Thriller in Context Kate Watson As this book collection attests, the thriller is a wide-ranging category. As this chapter will show (and summarize), the sub- genre of the crime thriller has a large corpus and different national traditions, and, consequently, it does not have a singular literary or national history. Crime thriller narratives can be found across many mediums, including literature, television, graphic novels, and film. Added to this, there are many sub-genres of the thriller that incorporate narratives of crime/s. These are: legal thrillers (and the earlier police procedural), spy thrillers, futuristic thrillers, psychological thrillers, political thrillers, racing thrillers, heist thrillers, cyberpunk thrillers, the ‘troubling’ thriller, and the faction thriller, among others (Scaggs 108). Martin Priestman groups these versions of the crime thriller into the noir thriller and the anti- conspiracy thriller (34).1 In fact, there is a continual revision and evolution of the crime thriller over time. To begin: what does it mean exactly to ‘thrill’? Typically, a thriller is connected with a visceral response and frisson. A ‘thrill’ is connected to emotion: it can incite excitement, be suspenseful, salacious, and sensational. It can also be pleasurable, chilling, and terrifying or invoke anxiety, ambiguity, and fear. For these reasons, the crime thriller is closely connected to and has a crossover with the psychological thriller. So, how can the popular sub-genre of the crime thriller be defined? This chapter will consider the definitions of the ‘crime novel/thriller’ and ‘detective fiction.’ Indeed, each of these terms are broad and encompass many sub-genres in each.

  • Film Technology, Adaptation, and a History of the Hollywood Novel, 1920-1950
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Fleeting Fictions: Film Technology, Adaptation, and a History of the Hollywood Novel, 1920-1950 A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English by Justin Richard Gautreau June 2015 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Katherine Kinney, Chairperson Dr. Tom Lutz Dr. Sherryl Vint Copyright by Justin Richard Gautreau 2015 The Dissertation of Justin Richard Gautreau is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside Acknowledgements Since this dissertation in some ways began long before my time in my graduate school, my thanks could go on and on. For practical purposes, let me acknowledge those who have influenced it most directly. First, I would like to thank Rob Latham who has supported my academic interests in Hollywood from the very beginning. I remember sitting with him at a Starbucks on Blaine and Iowa in Riverside as an insecure first-year graduate student, hesitantly asking him if Hollywood was an acceptable topic for scholarly pursuit, to which he bluntly replied, “Why not?” His mentorship and support over the years have inspired me to accomplish things I never thought possible for myself. Next, I want to thank Katherine Kinney, whose intellectual approach to film and literary studies has provided me with a model for my own scholarship. During my Ph.D. qualifying exams where I presented early ideas for the dissertation, she asked the game- changing question: “Does the Hays Office count as a film technology?” Her questions since then have continued to take my work to another level. Her patience and support as I struggled to complete the final sections of this dissertation mean more to me than she knows.

We are and continue to be omnivorous consumers of private libraries and of the inventories of other booksellers and collectors. We currently have about 250,000 books cataloged and offered for sale, with tens of thousands more waiting to be sorted, cataloged, scanned, and trotted out before our adoring (and adorable!) book buying public. As you might imagine, with so much new material to deal with we are generally not very introspective about older stock. We spend very little time fretting over unsold inventory or agonizing that our prices are either too high or too low. We are generally content to let the market take care of that: if they are priced too low they go away, if not they just lie there despondently. While we have occasionally and perfunctorily addressed older inventory by doing sale catalogs or blanket discounts on certain classes of books, we have never before gone back and actually individually re-priced books to market. Until now. I’ve recently revisited the prices of the books that have been in residence longest and tried my level best to price them competitively (obviously and as always, taking condition into account).

SOUTHERN NOIR: APPROPRIATIONS AND ALTERATIONS OF A TWENTIETH-CENTURY FORM A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English The University of Mississippi by BOB HODGES May 2011 Copyright Robert Hodges 2011 FREEED BY COPYLEFT UNDER A CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSE ABSTRACT Southern noir conjoins the two seemingly antithetical words. The word noir conjures images of cheap films about detectives, criminals, and luckless men scurrying across a city at night with expressionistic shadows, a foreboding sense of doom, and seductive femmes fatales nipping at their heels. The understanding of noir as a symptom of urban modernity inextricably linked to cities and cinema stands in stark contrast to the traditional understanding of the south as rural, retrograde, and a repository for all the antiquated, “coercive forms of human society” in labor and social practices (Greeson 3). This study contends that certain works of twentieth century southern literature and film can be understood as a part of the popular form of noir.
