First part great, second part not as goodBy Jennifer BurgisAs another reviewer has stated, The Old Stone House takes up more than half the book while the other stories are quite short. That story rates 5 stars, in my opinion, and the other stories collectively about a 3. They read so quickly, though, both separately and as a whole, that the impression of the book after it's over is largely of that first story. These are not detective stories - their appeal comes from their atmosphere. Not Anna Katharine Green as we generally think of her, but a good read nonetheless. Very much recommended.15 of 15 people found the following review helpful. Classic MysteryBy Kindle CustomerThe first part of the book (over 50%) is a really good classic mystery. I would have given it a five star rating. The last part of the book were very short story mysteries which were more thought-provoking than classic mystery. Overall I enjoyed the book, especially because it was free.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

About the AuthorAnna Katharine Green (November 11, 1846 ndash; April 11, 1935) was an American poet and novelist. She was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America and distinguished herself by writing well plotted, legally accurate stories. Green has been called "the mother of the detective novel.rdquo; With such memorable detectives as Ebenezer Gryce, New York City police officer and spinster sleuth Amelia Butterworth, Green successfully uses many of the genres' plot devices such as expert witnesses, medical inquiry, dead bodies found in libraries, and ballistics experts to find weapons. Her expert detailing of the logical procedure through discovery of possibilities, deduction, and reasoning won her readership all over North America and Europe. She maintained a correspondence with Ralph Waldo Emerson, admired Eacute;mile Gaboriau, and influenced Agatha Christie. Her first detective novel, the 1878 book lsquo;The Leavenworth Casersquo; is widely regarded as the first American detective novel. A murder mystery which introduced the fictional detective, Ebenezer Gryce, to the literary world, it was the first such novel ever written by a woman, and in the views of some historians, the first bona fide American bestseller. It was so highly regarded for its insight into legal matters that it was used in Yale University law classes as an example of the perils of trusting circumstantial evidence.

    Contacts: Thea M. Page, 626-405-2260, [email protected] Lisa Blackburn, 626 -405-2140, [email protected] Anna Katharine Green (1846–1935) The Huntington’s presentation of “The Artistic Furniture of Charles Rohlfs” is supplemented with a section focusing on Rohlfs’ wife, Anna Katharine Green, featuring her books and other materials drawn from The Huntington’s library holdings. The popular novelist was born in 1846 in Brooklyn. Her father was a lawyer, a likely influence on her later decision to focus her writing career on detective and mystery stories. She graduated in 1866 from Ripley Female College in Poultney, Vt. Green met Rohlfs, then an actor, through a mutual friend in early 1877. She was 30 at the time; he was seven years her junior. Her literary career took off soon after meeting him; and Green’s novel, The Leavenworth Case, published in late 1878, established her as a leading literary figure. The book sold some 750,000 copies, became an international bestseller, and was recognized as a breakthrough in American detective fiction. Featuring memorable characters Ebenezer Gryce, a middle-aged New York police officer, and Amelia Butterworth, spinster sleuth, the book and those that followed used a variety of key plot devices successfully, including expert witnesses and ballistics experts. THE ARTISTIC FURNITURE OF Considered by literary critics to have made major contributions to the detective story genre, Charles Rohlfs Green had substantial influence over a range of 20th-century writers, including Agatha Christie. Christie’s Miss Jane Marple appears to be directly inspired by Green's Miss Amelia Butterworth, for example.

  • AGATHA WEBB by Anna Katharine Green
    ANZA PUBLISHING A Young Man Seeks the Truth about a Double Murder in a Small New England Town AGATHA WEBB by Anna Katharine Green An exciting story . the interest throughout its thirty-five chapters is well sustained—Boston Globe Anna Katherine Green is often referred to as “mother of the detective novel”—Contemporary Authors Online Green's originality, the tightness of her plots, the attractiveness of her characters, and her astonish- ing consistency over a forty-five year span make her an author well worth a second look—Audrey Peterson In the elegant drama of AGATHA WEBB (Hambledon Hill Press), Anna Katharine Green, one of the greatest mystery writers of all time, weaves a narrative with her usual consummate skill, and por- trays her characters with exceptional sympathy. On the New England seacoast, not far from Boston, lies a staid, picturesque village called Sutherlandtown. In these tranquil surroundings, Agatha Webb and her servant are found murdered. The task of unraveling the mystery begins at once, and suspi- cion points to a number of persons. Agatha herself had a tragic and troubled past. She suffered the loss of six of her children who died in infancy; some of the people of the village suspected her of complicity in these deaths, while others looked upon her as a victim. Adding to the complexity of the situation, a wealthy local man is being blackmailed by someone who believes that he is guilty of Agatha’s murder. The solution of the puzzle is uncovered in an intensely dramatic court scene. In addition to the attraction of the mystery, there is a love story.

  • Suspecting Women in the Leavenworth Case
    Convenit Internacional 18 mai-ago 2015 Cemoroc-Feusp / IJI - Univ. do Porto Suspecting Women in The Leavenworth Case Andalee Motrenec California State University, Fullerton Resumen: El caso Leavenworth puede considerarse el punto de partida de la novela detectivesca. Algunas lecturas contemporáneas consideran la novela de Anna Katharine Green como “novela amarilla” apoyándose en el hecho que el crimen tiene lugar dentro del espacio doméstico. Sin embargo, en este estudio problematizo estas cuestiones desde un punto de vista feminista, sin dejar de considerar, por ello, sus cuestiones históricas y estéticas. Las ideas decimonónicas que sostenían que las mujeres eren mental y físicamente incapaces de cometer asesinatos aparecen en El caso Leavenworth para revelar la tensión entre los papeles que se le asignan al género. Para llevar a cabo mi argumento me valdré tanto de las ideas de Gilbert y Gubart, como de Himmelfarb, que discutiré con profusión. Palabras Clave: Anna Katharine Green, novela detectivesca, novel amarilla, literatura del siglo XIX, feminismo, Gilbert y Gubar, la loca en el ático, Himmelfarb, El caso Leavenworth. Abstract: The Leavenworth Case stands out at a historically profound point for the development of the detective fiction novel. Contemporary readings label Anna Katharine Green’s novel as sensation fiction because the crime occurs in the domestic space. However, this study problematizes labeling novels written by women as sensation fiction instead of detective fiction by analyzing the novel through a feminist, aesthetic, and historical lens. Contemporary 19th century ideas of women as physically and mentally incapable of murder arise in The Leavenworth Case and reveal tension between gender roles.

"I feared a plot"By PattoPublished in 1917, this mystery puts us in the capable hands of Detective Gryce, now an octogenarian with rheumatic twinges and moods of hating his profession. He sympathizes with anyone who evades him and his questions. He hates hounding people - and even pities the guilty.Nonetheless, the habits of a lifetime keep Gryce relentlessly on the trail.This crime is like nothing in his experience: in a New York museum a beautiful young girl is shot through the heart with an arrow!A highly emotional woman is found with her hand upon the arrow - and becomes incoherent for weeks. A would-be lover had been watching the girl from behind a pedestal, fearing that some plot threatened her. Twenty-two visitors were wandering around the rare coins, ancient bronzes, friezes and bas-reliefs. But nobody saw anything.Gryce's investigation takes him deep into the past lives of reluctant witnesses and unlikely suspects, looking for connections among them.

  • Detecting Doctrines: the Case Method and the Detective Story
    Detecting Doctrines: The Case Method and the Detective Story Simon Stern, University of Toronto Faculty of Law [email protected] Forthcoming in 23 Yale J. L. & Human. __ (2011) [This a preliminary draft; please do not quote or cite] When lawyers are not being villainized in popular culture, they are often endowed with many of the same admirable traits as a shrewd detective. If this characterization conforms to an image that some lawyers embrace, it also speaks to a frequently rehearsed analogy in the literature on legal education. Legal forms of explanation, pedagogy, and analysis invite comparison with detective stories for many reasons. Some commentators focus on the sense of inevitability in the whodunit and the legal judgment. On this view, which frames the analogy in relation to written opinions, the judicial habit of slowly working up to a seemingly inexorable conclusion resembles the detective story’s shrewd distribution of clues in such a way as to settle guilt on a culprit whose status, in retrospect, appears similarly inevitable, as if this figure had always been the only eligible candidate.1 Other commentators emphasize the pedagogical value of narrative, which can make an explanation compelling and memorable in ways that a more abstract and methodical account cannot. For these scholars, who focus on the role of the detective mentality in the classroom, suspense and vividness are features that law professors should borrow from For comments on earlier drafts, thanks to Charles Barzun, Scott Boorman, Gregg Crane, Bill Eskridge, Monika Fludernik, Robert Gordon, Janet Halley, Bruce Hay, Charles Rzepka, Vanessa Ryan, and Elaine Scarry, and to audiences at the University of Freiberg, the University of Virginia Law School, and the Humanities and Cognitive Theory and the Arts Seminar at Harvard.

Weiss Adviser: Professor Marc Dolan This dissertation posits American detective fiction between 1841 and 1914 as a meaningful category and interrogates forms of knowledge used in this genre. The conventional wisdom on detective fiction creates a dichotomy of British and American production, with British detective fiction in a rational style dominating in importance into the 1920s, and American detective fiction dominating in importance with the “hard-boiled” style of the 1930s and ’40s (as described by Raymond Chandler).

Maida Popular Press 1. Hardcover. Condition: New. 134 pages. Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.1in. x 0.6in.When The Leavenworth Case, Anna Katharine Greens first novel, was published in 1878, it quickly became a bestseller as well as a seminal work of detective fiction. Critics were to perceive Greens work as the link to Edgar Allan Poe in the American line of classic detective fiction. But the development of serial detectives is perhaps her greatest achievement. (Ebenezer Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police, who makes his first appearance in 1878, precedes Sherlock Holmes by almost a decade. ) In examining the life and works of Anna Katharine Green, one discovers a slice of American life: in the social events of New York City, in the plight of young working women, in the moral dilemmas of upright citizens pursuing the American dream.
