About the book
About Crime Fiction in German
It provides English-language readers with easy access to the history and development of German-language crime fiction for the first time. Contains a chronology of German-language crime fiction. Key dates, developments and texts are presented in a tabular form at the beginning of the volume. This is a unique selling point (new to the series) and provides the reader with an ‘at a glance’ overview of the volume. an introductory chapter that provides a comprehensive overview of the development of German-language crime and its key concepts and trends from the nineteenth century to the present day (including East German, Turkish-German, Jewish-German and regional crime). The chapter can be read as a standalone, but also acts as a gateway to the volume’s chapters. The chapters provide the reader with a wealth of information about key areas of crime fiction from around the German-speaking world. an annotated bibliography of published and online resources. This will be particularly useful for scholars in the field. a map of the German-speaking world that allows readers to see the majority of different geographical regions discussed in the volume.
