First Edition
Pictorial Wrappers. Condition: Near Fine. First Printing. 1st prtg. Covers show some light creasing, page edges lightly soiled else a near fine copy of trade paperback. This anthology was apparently intended for a college class on detective and mystery fiction--or as it states in the Preface, "a form of popular fiction that is forever concerned with the basic questions of 'right' and 'wrong' in human behavior." Allen and Chacko included short stories, selected passages from novels, two poems, and a final section of essays by writers in the genre, organized into four sections: Manifestations, The Detective, The Genre Extended and Theories. Each selection is followed by analytical questions, and there also an appendix with topics for writing and research, a bibliography and some suggestions for further reading. Trade Paperback.
