Description
Italian Crime Fiction: A Study in Development and Representation. This volume is the first study in English to focus specifically on Italian crime fiction. It explores the history and development of Italian detective and noir fiction from the 1930s to the present, examining key topics such as space, gender, and the tradition of impegno - a social and political engagement that characterized the Italian cultural and literary scene in the postwar period. Leading British and North American scholars contribute to this comprehensive study, tracing the evolution of Italian crime fiction and its representation of these themes. The result is a nuanced understanding of this often-overlooked genre, shedding new light on its development and significance.
