Contemporary British Detective Fiction
I am inviting submissions of scholarly/critical articles for a proposed =
volume about detective fiction set in contemporary England (post 1980) =
in which issues involving racial or religious other is a prominent =

Most of the articles should concentrate on mainstream British detective =
fiction dealing with either race or religion, but some other related =
directions include:
--essays which compare the way U.S. and British detective novels deal =
with these same issues of race and religion
--essays which compare contemporary and earlier British crime fiction =
(ie, from Golden Age of Detective Fiction) on these issues
--essays which might study the intersection of racial and religious =
otherness with additional types of marginalization (gender, class, =
sexual orientation, etc.)
--essays which compare popular writers/series (ie, P.D. James, Ruth =
Rendell, etc.) with other, less mainstream, authors in their treatment =
of these themes
Please submit detailed abstracts (300-500 words) along with cv's (both =
