| | DVD Verdict Review - Pulp Fiction: Collector's Edition |
| | Pulp Fiction is single-handedly responsible for the emergence of Asian action, exploitation, '50s hard-boiled crime and punishment, low budget independent, and French new wave film appreciation in America. | | | Pulp Fiction was the result of ten years laboring in obscurity. | | | As if to place Pulp Fiction in the proper historical perspective, we are given even more bonus content to understand the movie's importance and place in the cinematic lexicon. |

| | The Baldwin Project: Children's Stories and How to Tell Them by J. Berg Esenwein & Marietta Stockard |
| | Every line of the foregoing implies that if in any degree pessimistic and sordid fiction may not harm the storyteller it will be entirely due to the reaction by which a healthy nature throws off the depressing—an experience that is by no means universal. | | | Adduce any reasons, further than those suggested in this chapter, to show that preferences in fiction influence personality in the adult. | | | We need only analyze our own experiences to multiply examples of how in the story-world we find what our ancestors near and remote used to find in fictional creations, whether their own or told by others—the satisfaction that life has denied, or has seemed to deny, to them. |

| | Amazon.co.uk: Twentieth-Century Crime Fiction: Books |
| | Twentieth-Century Crime Fiction aims to enhance understanding of one of the most popular forms of genre fiction by examining a wide variety of the detective and crime fiction produced in Britain and America during the twentieth century. | | | It introduces different theoretical approaches to crime fiction (e.g., formalist, historicist, psychoanalytic, postcolonial, feminist) and will be a useful supplement to a range of crime fiction courses, whether they focus on historical contexts, ideological shifts, the emergence of sub-genres, or the application of critical theories. | | | The first part of the study considers the nature and evolution of the main sub-genres of crime fiction: the classic and hard-boiled strands of detective fiction, the non-investigative crime novel (centred on transgressors or victims), and the 'mixed' form of the police procedural. |

| | Obviously crime fiction has now been reduced to a shell of what it was, and some of the material I have moved may well be worth moving back here or recovering from the page history. | | | Crime fiction has not been edited for almost a fortnight now, so I gather the rush is over. | | | Crime fiction involves criminality, but is not categorisable as detective fiction because the crimes are perpetrated by the main character(s) in full view of the reader. |

| | VictorianCrime |
| | Although fiction dealing with crime and mystery had been published well before the Victorian age, crime literature before 1800 had frequently focused on the criminal as the sympathetic hero. | | | Yet although the official detective had made a literary appearance, the rise of a new form of crime fiction after the mid-century put the emphasis firmly on the amateur sleuth and, at times, back onto the criminal. | | | There are two points to consider when talking about Victorian detective fiction: firstly, that the detective story as a distinct genre is a product of the nineteenth century; and secondly, that only a small amount of the detective fiction produced at the time is still read and studied. |
