Teaching Crime Fiction
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-90607-2 (ISBN)
More than perhaps any other genre, crime fiction invites debate over the role of popular fiction in English studies. This book offers lively original essays on teaching crime fiction written by experienced British and international scholar teachers, providing vital insight into this diverse genre through a series of compelling subjects. Taking its starting-point in pedagogical reflections and classroom experiences, the book explores methods for teaching students to develop their own critical perspectives as crime fiction critics, the impact of feminism, postcolonialism, and ecocriticism on crime fiction, crime fiction and film, the crime short story, postgraduate perspectives, and more.
Charlotte Beyer is Senior Lecturer in English Studies at University of Gloucestershire, UK. She has published widely on crime fiction and contemporary literature. She is currently writing a monograph on the crime short story for McFarland. She serves on the Steering Committee of the Crime Studies Network and the editorial boards of several journals.
