Detection and Desire: Male Goyendas and their Female Bette-Noirs in the Early Bangla Detective Novels .This book examines diverse literary writings in Bangla related to crime in late nineteenth and early twentieth century colonial Bengal, with a timely focus on gender. It analyses crime-centred fiction and non-fiction in the region to see how actual or imagined crimes related to women were shaped and fashioned into images and narratives for contemporary genteel readers. The writings have been examined within a social-historical context where gender was a fiercely contested terrain for publicly fought debates on law, sexual relations, reform, and identity as moulded by culture, class, and caste. Both canonized literary writings (like those of Bankim Chatterji) as well as non-canonical, popular writings (of writers who have not received sufficient critical attention) are scrutinised in order to examine how criminal offences featuring women (as both victims and offenders) have been narrated in early manifestations of the genre of crime writing in Bangla. An empowered and thought-provoking study, this book will be of special interest to scholars of criminology and social justice, literature, and gender.Palgrave Advances in Criminology and Criminal Justice in AsiaCritical criminologySex and lawViolenceCrimeOriental literatureHuman rightsCriminologyEthnicity, Class, Gender and Crimehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B1030Gender, Sexuality and Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BB030Violence and Crimehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BG010Asian Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/831000Human Rights and Crime https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1BB020Critical criminology.Sex and law.Violence.Crime.Oriental literature.Human rights.Criminology.Ethnicity, Class, Gender and Crime.Gender, Sexuality and Law.Violence and Crime.Asian Literature.Human Rights and Crime .809.3872Roy Shampaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut868554BOOK9910255273003321Gender and Criminality in Bangla Crime Narratives1938781UNINA
