{"product_id":"arthur-conan-doyles-art-of-nils-clausson-9781527511576","title":"Arthur Conan Doyle's Art of Fiction: A Revaluation","description":"This groundbreaking book rescues Arthur Conan Doyle from the sub-literary category of popular fiction and from the myth of Sherlock Holmes. Instead of following new historicists and postcolonialists and asking what Conan Doyleâ (TM)s fiction reveals about its author and what it tells us about Victorian attitudes to crime, class, Empire and gender, this provocative and convincingly argued literary study shifts the critical emphasis to the neglected art of the novels, tales and stories. It demonstrates through close reading that they can be read the same way as canonical literary fiction. Unapologetically polemical and written in an accessible, jargon-free style, this book will stimulate debate and provoke counterarguments, but most importantly it will send readers, both within and outside the academy, back to the fiction with heightened understanding and renewed pleasure. At a time when evaluation has virtually disappeared from literary studies, this iconoclastic book returns it to the centre.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nils Clausson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 152751157X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781527511576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge Scholars Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 1.10d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nils Clausson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48518800113919,"sku":"9781527511576","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d4286d29-d05f-4b78-be69-646ceda263f5.jpg?v=1778735697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arthur-conan-doyles-art-of-nils-clausson-9781527511576","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
