Cambridge Companion Crime Fiction
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.

The Femme Fatale in "Postfeminist" Hard-Boiled Detective Fiction: Redundant Or Re-Inventing Herslef?

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. i The Femme Fatale in “Postfeminist” Hard-Boiled Detective Fiction: Redundant or Re-inventing Herself? A thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at Massey University, New Zealand Robert Stanley Redmond 2014 ii Abstract The femme fatale of the hard-boiled era, who arrived in the late 1920s, seduced, shot and poisoned her way through pulp magazines, hard- and paper-backed novels, and films for almost fifty years, as the iconic figure of evil whose abjection secured a new masculine ideal that found its voice in the tough-guy detectives created by the likes of Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and Mickey Spillane. But by the 1960s her particular brand of villainy was in decline. In the 1980s a new representation of the dangerous woman, in the form of the tough female detective subverted the genre, by decentring the masculine fantasy that was the source of the femme fatale. The female detectives authored by women, such as Sara Paretsky and Katherine Forrest, were a product of second-wave feminism, which, in the 1960s, agitated for legal and customary rights within the masculine hegemony. By the 1990s, the feminism that had driven a host of social and legal reforms was felt by many to have entered a new phase, allowing for the postulation of the return of the femme fatale within postfeminist detective fiction as the representative of the abject “other.” Contemporary gender politics and new postmodern representational regimes, however, make her return difficult.

to Catch a Murderer ... to Get Ahead at Work ... to Find Love ?
“Quirky characters ... unexpected twists” “Offbeat and outrageously funny” “Sexy, irreverent and wacky” “Humour-laced thrillers” ... To Catch a Murderer ... One-hour murder mystery TV series To Get Ahead at Work ... To Find Love ? 1 Robin Hudson says: That’s one of the reasons I got into news. I hate not knowing. I can’t handle too many unanswered questions in my life at one time… I hate it when unanswered questions go unanswered.” I’m pretty good at seeing the hidden menace in things. But I’m not always good at seeing the hidden menace in people.” There’s always that point, in the middle of a jam, when the usually dormant voice in the back of my head suddenly awakens and asks, “where the hell are we and how did we get ourselves in this one, Robin?” There’s always that one question I should never ask, that one anecdote I shouldn’t tell, that one comment I shouldn’t make, but I can’t seem to stop myself.” 2 Robin Hudson can trip over a dead body and see the funny side. Adapted from the novels “The Robin Hudson Mysteries” written by Sparkle Hayter, best-selling author, stand-up comedian and TV journalist, What’s a Girl Gotta Do? is a one-hour murder mystery series set in a TV newsroom. The books are described as “humour-laced thrillers”, “offbeat and outrageously funny”, with “quirky characters, tough-guy talk, romantic longings and unexpected twists.” The series mixes MURDER MYSTERY, ROMANTIC COMEDY and SOCIAL SATIRE, as we follow our protagonist, a single 27 year-old struggling reporter, through her mishaps and adventures in love and murder.

Apes of the Imagination: a Bibliography by Marion Copeland
Apes of the Imagination: A Bibliography By Marion Copeland Primary Sources Arranged by date Aesop’s Fables Nicholas Howe includes fables among “other troubling works that cross adult distinctions between the comforting and the frightening, between the human and the animal"--works like Swift's Gulliver's Travels and Self's Great Apes (645-646). "The fable as a form explores those regions where human and animal overlap" (648). Indeed, Aesop is said to have been an animal. Probably a baboon, granted speech by Isis and art by the Muses because of an act of kindness he had displayed (Howe 649). A number of the fables, like “The Apes and the Two Travellers,” feature Apes (Chapter 200, Russell Ash Aesop’s Fables: 210). Unfortunately the point of this particular fable seems to be that the Ape would prefer to be taken as a pseudo-human than as “’a most excellent ape’” (http://www.literaturepage.com/read/aesopsfables-210.html) 12th century, English--Worshop Bestiary, fol. 19v (Morgan Library, New York) "…among the jungle animals in the bestiaries is the ape or monkey. The Worshop Bestiary depicts a mother ape who is attacked by an archer as she carries her babies, one blue and the other green. The bestiaries explain that if a monkey gives birth to twins, she strongly prefers one over the other. If she is pursued, she holds the one she loves in her arms while the one she detests clings to her back. But when she becomes too tired to run on only her back legs, she must abandon the one she loves and is left carrying the one she hates.
