​Erle Stanley Gardner’s Perry Mason has been a vibrant part of the cultural conversation for nearly 90 years. The titular trial lawyer with a penchant for detective work first debuted in the novel The Case of the Velvet Claws (1933), setting in motion a publishing streak that would eventually become the third best selling series of all time. ​Successful radio, film, and television adaptations soon followed, solidifying the character’s presence within the cultural lexicon.

CFP: Crones, Crime, and the Gothic

29/12/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Older women have traditionally been portrayed negatively in folklore, fairy tales, literature and film, for example. Images of witches, evil stepmothers, shrivelled, bitter 'spinsters', and vindictive, bullying women abusing positions of power are rife in Western culture. Yet, perhaps things are changing. A new emphasis on the need to discuss and understand the menopause seems to be at the heart of this.

​Conference: Falmouth University UK, 10-11 June 2022

CFP: Special Issue on Cornell Woolrich and Transmedia Noir

28/7/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
Crime Fiction Studies is preparing a special issue on mystery writer Cornell Woolrich (1903-1968), with a focus on his significance to the transmedia formation of America’s noir imaginary in the 1940s and 1950s. Known to film studies primarily for penning the source story for Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Woolrich was in fact the most heavily adapted contemporary crime author of his era. Yet despite this, his legacy for film noir remains obscured by his literary confrères: Chandler, Hammett, and Cain.

Deadline for abstracts: 
September 1, 2021
Deadline for full drafts: July 1, 2022
