Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Murder Mysteries, 1880-1965: Facts and Fictions conceptualizes detective fiction as an archive, i.e., a trove of documents and sources to be used for historical interpretation. By framing the genre as a shifting set of values, definitions, and practices, the book historicizes the contested meanings of analytical categories like class, race, gender, nation, and empire that have been applied to the forms and functions of detection. Three organizing themes structure this investigation: fictive facticity, genre fluidity, and conservative modernity. This volume thus shows how British detective fiction from the late-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century both shaped and was shaped by its social, cultural, and political contexts and the lived experience of its authors and readers at critical moments in time.

Download or read book Manon Lescaut written by Abbé Prévost and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An excerpt of a review from Dublin Magazine, Vol. 3, 1841: "The only instance in which the character of an absolutely profligate pickpocket was ever made comparatively welcome to our graver feelings, is in the extraordinary story of Manon Lescaut, by the Abbé Prévost. "It Is the story of a young man, so passionately in love with a profligate female, that he follows her through every species of vice and misery, even when she is sent as a convict to New Orleans. His love, indeed, is returned. He is obliged to subsist upon her vices, and, in return, is induced to help her with his own, becoming a cheat and a swindler to supply her outrageous extravagances. On board the convict ship (if we recollect) he waits on her through every species of squalidness; the convict dress and her shaved head only redoubling his love by the help of pity. This seems a shocking and very immoral book; yet multitudes of very reputable people have found a charm in it. "The fact is, not only that Manon is beautiful, sprightly, really fond of her lover, and after all, becomes reformed; but it is delightful, and ought to be so, to the human heart, to see a vein of sentiment and real goodness looking out through all this callous surface of guilt. It is like meeting with a tree in a squalid hole of a city; a flower, or a frank face, in a reprobate purlieu. The capabilities of human nature are not compromised. The virtue alone seems natural; the guilt, as it often is, seems artificial, and the result of bad education or other circumstance. Nor is anybody injured. It is one of the shallowest of all shallow notions to talk of the harm of such works. Do we think nobody is to be honoured but the virtuous; or that there are not privileged harms and vices to be got rid of as well as unprivileged? No good-hearted person will be injured by reading Manon Lescaut. There is the belief in goodness in it; a faith, the want of which does so much harm, both to the vicious and the over-righteous. "Part of this is, we fear, a little sophistical, and might easily be wrested in favour of publications having most of the faults of Manon Lescaut, without any of its redeeming qualities. Whether Mr. Leigh Hunt need have entered into so minute a defence of it, is a question on which we are not yet competent to decide. So far as we have read, we have found little to justify Mr. Thomas' deprecation of apology, (by which, as the fashion is, he in effect apologizes) 'for those too truthful pictures of human life, and that warmth of expression, which are to be found in its pages.' Whether he has softened down in the translation what was indecent in the original, we know not; but as yet we have met nothing that startled us. "Nine out of ten of modern English novels contain things just as offensive, and out of all comparison more likely to mislead and corrupt."
