A Counter-History Of Crime Fiction
Now available in paperback, Maurizio Ascari's study of crime fiction takes a new look at its evolution, drawing on material from the Middle Ages onwards. He explores the connections between revenge tragedies, the gothic, urban mysteries and anarchist fiction, and examines the influence of pseudo-sciences such as mesmerism and criminal anthropology.
