By framing the genre as a shifting set of values, definitions, and practices, the book historicizes the contested meanings of analytical categories like class, race, gender, nation, and empire that have been applied to the forms and functions of detection. Three organizing themes structure this investigation: fictive facticity, genre fluidity, and conservative modernity. This volume thus shows how British detective fiction from the late-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century both shaped and was shaped by its social, cultural, and political contexts and the lived experience of its authors and readers at critical moments in time. 410 0$aCrime Files,$x2947-8359 606 $aFiction 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x20th century 606 $aLiterature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMass media and crime 606 $aEthnology$xGreat Britain 606 $aCulture 606 $aEurope$xHistory 606 $aFiction Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aLiterary History 606 $aCrime and the Media 606 $aBritish Culture 606 $aEuropean History 610 $aEnglish Literature 615 0$aFiction. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x20th century. 615 0$aLiterature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMass media and crime. 615 0$aEthnology$xGreat Britain. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory. 615 14$aFiction Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aLiterary History. 615 24$aCrime and the Media. 615 24$aBritish Culture. 615 24$aEuropean History. 676 $a809.3 676 $a823.087209 700 $aMayhall$b Laura E.
