The Emergent Culture Of Crime Writings In Late 19Th Century Colonial Bengal (India) Is An Interesting Testimony To How Literature Is Shaped By Various Material Forces Including The Market. This Book Deals With True Crime Writings Of The Late 1800S Published By Lowbrow Publishing Houses Infamous For Publishing Sensational And The Vulgar Literature Which Had An Avid Bhadralok (Genteel) Readership.The Volume Focuses On Select Translations Of True Crime Writings By Bakaullah And Priyanath Mukhopadhyay Who Worked As Darogas (Detective Inspectors) In The Police Department In Midlate Nineteenth Century Colonised Bengal. These Published Accounts Of Cases Investigated By Them Are Among The Very First Manifestations Of The Crime Genre In India. The Writings Reflect Their Understandings Of Criminality And Guilt, As Well As Negotiations With Colonial Law And Policing. Further, Through A Selection Of Cases In Which Women Make An Appearance Either As Victims Or Offenders, (Or Sometimes As Both,) This Book Sheds Light On The Hidden Gendered Experiences Of The Time, Often Missing In Mainstream Bangla Literature.Combining A Love For Suspense With Critical Readings Of A Cultural Phenomenon, This Book Will Be Of Much Interest To Scholars And Researchers Of Comparative Literature, Translation Studies, Gender Studies, Literary Theory, Cultural Studies, Modern History, And Lovers Of Crime Fiction From All Disciplines.
