| Sumario: | While extensive study in the humanities and social sciences has been directed toward the analysis of detective fiction, a related area of popular stories has been virtually ignored. These are the stories of detective fact contained in the detective magazine. These magazines, some established in the late 1920’s, each with circulations approximating a hundred thousand each month, are an insightful source of information on popular culture. This study is a descriptive account of the cultural images and stereotypes presented and reinforced by these magazines. The analysis involves a content analysis of the magazine covers and story content of thirteen monthly publications for a six month period. |
