Victorian Detective Stories: an Oxford Anthology
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Oxford University Press
- Publish date: 04/01/2003
Description:
Detective stories, with their ingeniously devised plots and emphasis on the power of deduction, were beloved by the Victorians. Here, Michael Cox has assembled thirty-one of the finest examples of the genre, with contributions from such major figures as Edgar Allan Poe, J. S. Le Fanu, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Baroness Orczy, and Arthur Conan Doyle, as well as a host of less familiar writers. Police detectives, gentlemen amateurs, lady sleuths, and even a psychic detective pit their wits against an array of equally varied villains, whose crimes range from forgery and fraud to theft and abduction - and, of course, murder.
