This anthology offers readers an exemplary sample of the hundreds of detective stories published in 19th century newspapers and magazines. All but two are stories published before 1891, before Sherlock Holmes appeared in America. The stories are categorized according to common motifs, including the largely unexplored field of women in late 19th century detection. Revealing cultural intricacies that other kinds of fiction cannot, the literature presented here provides new insights into the history of the detective story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leroy Lad Panek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 078649560X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786495603\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Leroy Lad Panek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48013786611967,"sku":"9780786495603","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c894396-51a4-4aa2-aeb5-d401edc5e9d9.jpg?v=1767744761","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-american-detective-stories-leroy-lad-panek-9780786495603","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
