This module examines a range of 19th and 20th century American fiction dealing with the themes of crime and detection. We will study issues of race, gender, technological progress and urban living as they manifest themselves in crime fiction.
A note on books: Some of the novels go out of print, so occasionally substitutions need to be made. Please do not buy any books for this module until you have consulted with the module organiser. Also feel free to nominate books that you would like taught on this module.
