Karolides' "Focus on Black Adolescents"), and particular books, (e.g., Beverly Haley's "'The Pigman'- -Use It1").

  • The Hardy Boys: Bay Rat Literature
    Quick, Timely Reads Reading in the Time of Coronavirus On the Waterfront The Hardy Boys: Bay Rat Literature By David Frew February 2021 Dr. David Frew, a prolific writer, author, and speaker, grew up on Erie's lower west side as a proud "Bay Rat," joining neighborhood kids playing and marauding along the west bayfront. He has written for years about his beloved Presque Isle and his adventures on the Great Lakes. In this series, the JES Scholar-in-Residence takes note of of life in and around the water. Here is the typical 1950s era Bay Rat bookshelf. Who says we weren’t intellectuals? During the early 1950s, one of my traditional Christmas gifts from Santa was a “Hardy Boys” book. I read them ravenously and had a large collection. Some were better than others, with personal favorites that I read over and over being the “Secret Tower Mystery” and the “Secret of the Old Mill.” By the time that I became interested in them, they were obviously dated, having been written in the late 1920s. But I was able to overlook the obviously stuffy and too-old references to things like “automobiles instead of cars,” and “trousers instead of pants.” I still have my collection, although it is packed away in boxes. One of the most positive aspects of my Hardy Boys reading habit was a discovery of the Erie Book Store on French Street and its basement used book department. I became a regular customer, visiting often to hunt for used Hardy Boys books. Sometimes, when I was unable to find one, I was drawn to other inexpensive offerings and often purchased them.

  • 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This Chapter Presents an Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter presents an introduction consisting of background, Formulation of Problem, Research Objectives, Research Significance, and definition of key terms. 1.1 Background Detective fiction was begun in 1840 by Edgar Allan Poe who is later known as “the father” detective fiction, and continued by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with his Sherlock Holmes as detective character in his novel in the end of the nineteenth century and it becomes famous in that age. Cawelti (1976: 89) argues that. “The classical or ratiocinative detective story was first clearly articulated by Edgar Allan Poe in the 1840’s, but it did not become a widely popular genre until the end of the nineteenth century. Its period of greatest popularity was initiated by the enormous success of Canon Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, and it flourished in the first four decades of the twentieth century”. The popularity of detective fiction by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle with his Sherlock Holmes was continued when Agatha Christie created Hercules Poirot as detective in her novels and it was remarkable reward and also it was a golden age for detective fiction. In United States, the 80s the Hardy Boys novel was very popular and became one of the American reading options for teenagers. Until 2005 (the title 1 changed to The Hardy Boys: Undercover Brother), this series has reached more than 200 volumes. The uniqueness of this series is from the people who are behind the process. All The Hardy Boys series were written by many ghostwriters and published using pen names, Franklin W.

  • A Content Analysis of Masculinities in Hardy Boys Mystery Stories, 1927-1932
    Caitlin R. Donnelly. “That’s Just Like a Boy”: A Content Analysis of Masculinities in Hardy Boys Mystery Stories, 1927-1932. A Master’s Paper for the M.S. in L.S. degree. April 2008. 77 pages. Advisor: Brian Sturm This study is a content analysis of six Hardy Boys mystery stories from the 1920s and 1930s in order to explore what characteristics and expressions of masculinity are communicated as appropriate, desirable, and admirable. The study concludes that in the books surveyed, women are few in number and male characters are largely at liberty to decide their actions without interference or limitation; that Frank and Joe Hardy reflect all of the hallmarks of “real boys” as defined in the early twentieth century; and that the stories endorse an older model of Victorian masculinity that was falling out of favor while rejecting the newer standards that were replacing them.
