Crimeculture
offers a number of different reading lists, which we hope will be
useful to students of both literature and film. We would very
much like to include course reading lists that others have found helpful
and also want to keep our information on new texts up-to-date:
we would be grateful for any bibliographies or details about new publications
you send us (contact us).
At present, the main
Reading Lists we provide are:
Critical texts currently available
|
This section includes books that are
currently for sale online from Amazon: details and images are
from either amazon.com or amazon.co.uk.
Many of the brief reviews reproduced here are also from one of the
Amazon sites; the rest are from other online sources.
This
is not a section in which we provide our own reviews, but in the
two paperback lists the editors have added a 'highly recommended'
icon to those texts we have used ourselves (whether in teaching or
research) and have found to be particularly valuable. We have
divided the material in this section as follows:
Crime
Fiction: Paperback Studies
Crime
Fiction: Hardback Studies
Crime
Films: Paperback Studies
Crime
Films: Hardback Studies
Our primary sources section is at
present centred around hard-boiled fiction and twentieth-century
literary noir. Again, we would welcome additional lists or
suggestions from anyone interested in contributing.
Course and research bibliographies
|
We hope to expand this section to
include bibliographies for the many different kinds of crime-related
courses that are on offer, and, as above, invite contributions.
The bibliographies currently included relate to our own teaching
and research interests. Bibliographies at present available:
The
Noir Thriller: course bibliography
The
Noir Thriller: research bibliography
