The Edwardian Detectives: Literary Sleuths of the Edwardian Era - Tapa blanda

The exploits of the great Victorian Detectives, Poe’s C. Auguste Dupin, Gaboriau’s Lecoq, and most famously, Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, are well known. But what of those fictional detectives that came after, those of the Edwardian Age? The period between the death of Queen Victoria and the First World War had been called the Golden Age of the detective short story, but how familiar is the modern reader with the sleuths of this era? And such an extraordinary group they were, including in their numbers an unassuming English priest, a blind man, a master of disguises, a lecturer in medical jurisprudence, a noble woman working for Scotland Yard, and a savant so brilliant he was known as “The Thinking Machine.” To introduce readers to these detectives, Resurrected Press has assembled a collection of stories featuring these and other remarkable sleuths in The Edwardian Detectives.
