Fall Semester 2008
English 216: Detective Fiction
Wednesday Evening
(Section 11589)
We will trace
the development of the detective story in
fiction from its beginnings with Edgar Allan
Poe up to contemporary writers such as
Walter Mosley, Loren Estleman, and Dana
Stabenow. Along the way we will read
and discuss Conan Doyle, Chesterton,
Christie, Hammett, Chandler, and many
others.
The course will
be discussion-oriented and welcomes both
those new to the genre and those who have
"read everything"!
