Know about the book -
Purity and Contamination in Late Victorian Detective Fiction is written by Christopher Pittard and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1409432890 (ISBN 10) and 9781409432890 (ISBN 13).
Concentrating on works by authors such as Fergus Hume, Grant Allen, L.T. Meade and Marie Belloc Lowndes, Pittard explores the complex relation between the emergence of detective fiction in the 1880s and 1890s and the concept of purity. Situating his discussion within the context of Victorian periodicals, advertisements, medical explorations of criminality and social protest movements, Pittard challenges histories of fin-de-si cle detective fiction that have obscured the heterogeneity of this popular form."
