Mean Streets Volume 3, Spring 2022

Mean Streets is the first scholarly journal to specialize in a significant and expanding category of American literature: mystery and detective fiction.

Volume 3 focuses on the “Golden Age” of mystery and detective fiction, generally agreed upon as bounded by World War I and World War II. While the designation has been applied to both British and American fiction, it is most often attributed to British fiction alone. In this volume, contributors seek to analyze this “Golden Age” and its Implications in American mystery and detective fiction.
