- Title
Dead Husbands and Deviant Women: Investigating the Detective Widow in Neo-Victorian Crime Fiction.
- Authors
Muller, Nadine
- Abstract
Over the past decade, the detective widow has become a well-established character in the little-explored subgenre of neo-Victorian crime fiction. In Tasha Alexander's Lady Emily series, the author argues, the detective widow investigates the gendered characteristics and complexities of Victorian widowhood while detecting the artistic crimes associated with historical fiction's imitations and adaptations of the past.
