Olivia Votava Undergraduate Murder, Mystery, and Serial Magazines: the Evolution of Detective Stories to Tales of International Crime
Olivia Votava Undergraduate Murder, Mystery, and Serial Magazines: The Evolution of Detective Stories to Tales of International Crime My greatly adored collection of short stories, novels, and commentary began at my local library one day long ago when I picked out C is for Corpse to listen to on a long car journey. Not long after I began purchasing books from this series starting with A is for Alibi and eventually progressing to J is for Judgement. This was my introduction to the detective story, a fascinating genre that I can’t get enough of. Last semester I took Duke’s Detective Story class, and I must say I think I may be slightly obsessed with detective stories now. This class showed me the wide variety of crime fiction from traditional Golden Age classics and hard-boiled stories to the eventual incorporation of noir and crime dramas. A simple final assignment of writing our own murder mystery where we “killed” the professor turned into so much more, dialing up my interest in detective stories even further. I'm continuing to write more short stories, and I hope to one day submit them to Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine and be published. To go from reading Ellery Queen, to learning about how Ellery Queen progressed the industry, to being inspired to publish in their magazine is an incredible journey that makes me want to read more detective novels in hopes that my storytelling abilities will greatly improve. Prior to my detective story class, I was most familiar with crime dramas often adapted to television (Rizzoli & Isles, Bones, Haven). -

Misadventures Exhibit Catalog (296.2Kb Application/Pdf)
AN EXHIBITION OF ITEMS FROM THE SHERLOCK HOLMES COLLECTIONS JUNE 13 – SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 ELMER L. ANDERSEN LIBRARY GALLERY UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA—WEST BANK CAMPUS ST 222 21 AVENUE SOUTH MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55455 THE MISADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES This exhibit is inspired by a book of the same title published in 1944 and edited by Ellery Queen. Both book & exhibit celebrate an ever-expanding universe of Holmesian parodies & pastiches fashioned by a broad spectrum of creative people in a variety of formats & languages. We hope you enjoy this “roomy” stroll through a world that began in Victorian England & is now found in cyberspace. Welcome to our little Sherlockian misadventure! ELLERY QUEEN ON PARODY & PASTICHE “As a general rule writers of pastiches retain the sacred and inviolate form Sherlock Holmes and rightfully, since a pastiche is a serious and sincere imitation in the exact manner of the original author. But writers of parodies, which are humorous or satirical take-offs, have no such reverent scruples. They usually strive for the weirdest possible distortions and it must be admitted that many highly ingenious travesties have been conceived. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how much of a purist one is, the name Sherlock Holmes is peculiarly susceptible to the twistings and misshapenings of burlesque-minded authors.” THE “BIG BANG” Since 1887, in almost cosmic fashion, nearly every medium & format has been employed in creating Sherlockian parodies & pastiches. Starting from the original sixty canonical tales, authors & artists of every stripe—detective story writers, famous literary figures, humorists, devotees & fans—created a “host of aliases” for Mr. -

JERZY GRONAU WĘDRÓWKI PO BIBLIOGRAFII ANGIELSKIEGO AUTORA – TWÓRCY POSTACI SHERLOCKA HOLMESA ARTHURA CONAN DOYLE`A 1859 – 1930 Kraków 2005 Jerzy GRONAU – Wędrówki po BIBLIOGRAFII Sir Arthura Conan DOYLE`a 2 Wstęp: Genezą tego opracowania były: - moja emerytura, - chęć powtórzenia swego rodzaju „zabawy umysłowej” którą przeżywałem przy innych pracach podobnego charakteru, - konstatacja - o braku w polskim piśmiennictwie bibliografii tego autora. 1. Tylko postaci Sherlocka Holmesa - opracowanie to - zawdzięcza swoją genezę i zainteresowanie autorem Arthurem Conan Doyl`em. Nie posługiwałem się żadną książkową bibliografią tego autora, poza krótkimi pracami dostępnymi w Internecie. 2. W języku angielskim przy porządkowaniu wykazów nazw tytułów, zamieszanie wprowadzają rodzajniki ‘The”, A, An, jak również takie początkowe określenia jak „Adventure”, Mysteries”, „Cases”, „Tales” itp. Stąd powstała (rodem ze Stanów) tabela - ze skróconymi nazwami, bez rodzajników i słów jak wyżej. 3. Zaznaczyć muszę, że w językach angielskim, niemieckim i francuskim, wprowadziłem do tabel tylko nazwy spotkanych tytułów – bez specjalnej uwagi na określone wydania książkowe czy czasopisma w których ukazywały się prace ACD. Nie są to więc ściśle bibliografie a raczej spisy spotkanych tytułów. Rodzajem bibliografii są tabele „Zarys bibliografii ACD wg ACD Society” i „Powieści i opowiadania – podział tematyczny”, oraz bibliografia wg ‘Wikisource’. 4. W polskich tabelach-zestawach starałem się umieścić konkretne wydania książkowe, określonego wydawcy, określonej zawartości itp. Ponieważ katalogi bibliotek nie podają często informacji takich jak tytuł oryginału angielskiego, nazwiska tłumacza poszczególnych opowiadań, starałem się (jeśli dostępne były dla mnie odpowiednie egzemplarze książek), dodatkowo podać polskie tytuły opowiadań uzupełniając je angielskim odpowiednikami tam gdzie ich nie podano. Niestety nie dotarłem do wielu egzemplarzy-wydań, stąd i puste miejsca na uzupełnienie tych informacji. -

Revealing ConCealment: Disguise as a Catalyst of Identity Confusion in Laurie King’s SherloCkian Mary Russell Mysteries Maddie Dirrim ‘21 Introduction While the formation or understanding of anyone’s identity is a long and difficult process dependent on many factors, this process has historically been especially difficult for women, who have faced constant pressure from society and stereotypes that have developed for many years. At the turn of the 20th century in England, women began to come into their identity as the “New Woman,” and soon after, encountered the trials and tribulations of WWI (“Woman Question” 654). The expectations concerning their place in the workforce as well as their place in the home caused women to question their position in society and their true identities. This theme of female identity confusion is reflected in both Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, written during the late Victorian Era, and Laurie R.
