The author constructs an interracial genealogy of detective fiction to create a nuanced picture of the ways that black and white authors appropriated and cultivated literary conventions that coalesced in a recognizable genre at the turn of the twentieth century. These authors tinkered with detective fiction's puzzle-elements to address a variety of historical contexts, including the exigencies of chattel slavery, the erosion of working-class solidarities by racial and ethnic competition, and accelerated mass production. Dreams for Dead Bodies demonstrates that nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American literature was broadly engaged with detective fiction, and that authors rehearsed and refined its formal elements in literary works typically relegated to the margins of the genre. By looking at these margins, the book argues, we can better understand the origins and cultural functions of American detective fiction. 410 0$aClass, culture. 606 $aWork in literature 606 $aSlavery in literature 606 $aWorking class in literature 606 $aAfrican Americans in literature 606 $aDetective and mystery stories, American$xHistory and criticism 610 $aliterature 610 $acultural studies 610 $aEdgar Allan Poe 610 $aJupiter 610 $aMark Twain 615 0$aWork in literature. 615 0$aSlavery in literature. 615 0$aWorking class in literature. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in literature. 615 0$aDetective and mystery stories, American$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a813/.087209 700 $aRobinson$b Michelle$f1979-$0970911 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136431603321 996 $aDreams for Dead Bodies$92435471 997 $aUNINA
