Astudy involving members of the Melbourne based readership network, Sisters in Crime, demonstrates that the discourses of value that circulate about crime fiction have a long history and can be related to debates about mass culture and consumerism circulating from the mid·nineteenth century anwards-{[ebates which the author relates to her own experience as a graduate and teacher of English literature' (Author's abstract).
