One of the biggest problems for lecturers teaching beginning literature students is increasing their confidence in their own critical ability. This book offers a solution by improving students' understanding of critical concepts and approaches and giving practice, and increased confidence, in reading critically.

Offers an examination of how crime and criminality representations within adapted UK detective dramas impact contemporary definitions of Englishness. This title presents a study of the politics of representation in the last decades of the twentieth century, and the role television detective fiction plays in this.

With reference to television series such as "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", "Inspector Morse", and "Midsomer Murders", this title uses adaptation as the basis for an exercise in later twentieth-century cultural history, illustrating the fundamental role detective fictions play in popular beliefs about the nature of crime and Englishness.
