By the 1920s and early 1930s the dime novel had already become well established as a medium for serial fiction and it developed innovative ways of shaping the temporality of literary communication: Recurring heroes made an appearance in more than one dime novel series at the same time, some even across media; publishers and writers found collective forms of text production not aiming to create one timeless work of art, but a continuous series of texts; readers learned to orient themselves with competing publishing schedules of different media and to comprehend the text world of a dime novel series by connecting a series of texts. The book deals with the question of how publishers, writers and readers shaped ‚seriality‘ in the process of creating the fictional worlds of dime novels. In den 1920er und frühen 1930er Jahren waren Heftromanserien keine neuartige Erscheinung, zeigten aber eine bemerkenswerte Vielfalt und Innovation im Umgang mit der Zeitlichkeit literarischer Kommunikation: Wiederkehrende Serienfiguren verbanden mehrere gleichzeitig erscheinende Serien zu komplexen, teilweise transmedialen Serienverbünden; Autorinnen und Autoren entwickelten kollektive Schreibweisen, die nicht auf die Erschaffung eines überzeitlichen Werkes abzielten, sondern eine Textproduktion „in Serie“ ermöglichten; das Lesepublikum lernte, sich in der Fülle gleichzeitiger medialer Angebote zu orientieren und die Texte der Serien verstehend aufeinander zu beziehen. Die vorliegende Arbeit geht der Frage nach, wie die Beteiligten die Zeitlichkeit der literarischen Kommunikation als ‚Serialität‘ gestalteten und dabei die fiktiven Welten von „Frank Allan. Der Rächer der Enterbten“ oder „Tom Shark. Der König der Detektive“ erschufen.

A companion to contemporary German crime fiction for English-speaking audiences is overdue. Starting with the earlier Swiss "classics" Glauser and Dürrenmatt and including a number of important Austrian authors, such as Wolf Haas and Heinrich Steinfest, this volume will cover the essential writers, genres, and themes of crime fiction written in German. Where necessary and appropriate, crime fiction in media other than writing (TV-series, movies) will be included. Contemporary social and political developments, such as gender issues, life in a multicultural society, and the afterlife of German fascism today, play a crucial role in much of recent German crime fiction. A number of contributions to this volume will comment on the literary reflection of these issues in the texts. The goal of the volume is to make available to English-speaking audiences, to students, teachers and to a wider circle of interested readers, a series of articles on genres, topics, authors, and texts that will help them understand the scope and depth of German crime fiction, its ties to international traditions and also the specificity of the German context, its historical development and contemporary situation.
