Irish writers, often without due recognition, have been instrumental in the development of the genre on an international level, and figures such as Le Fanu, Meade, Childers, Wills Crofts have been responsible for many of the innovations in crime fiction which have later become standard. This book examines Irish crime writing in its widest sense, from the detective mystery to the spy thriller, and seeks to vindicate the relevance of the Irish contribution to the field of crime fiction as well as stressing the importance of crime writing within the field of Irish Studies. This work traces Irish crime fiction from the early appropriation of the picaresque, which would gain resonance throughout Europe, through the gothic, the early detective tale, to the Irish contribution to the Golden Age mystery, to Irish hard-boiled pulp and inner-city police procedurals in which crimes committed by Irish criminals are investigated by Irish agents of detection.","PeriodicalId":39845,"journal":{"name":"Biologist","volume":"48 1 1","pages":"6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44751625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The head and thorax of the horseshoe crab are fused together to make the cephalothorax. The body is covered with a hard, thick shell. The abdomen is protected by a narrow shell that is hinged from the main shell at the front and ends in a long, sharp spine. \"The animal has a large compound eye on each side of the cephalothorax, two pairs of smaller, simple eyes between the compound eyes, and five light-receptive organs beneath the shell.\"(1) Its mouth is located in the middle of the underside of the cephalothorax. A pair of pincers (chelicerae) for seizing food are found on each side of the mouth. The horseshoe crab has six pairs of walking legs. \"The underside of the abdomen bears six additional pairs of appendages; the first covers the genital opening, the other five are modified as gills.\"(2) It feeds on small invertebrates that are buried beneath sand or mud. \"In late spring the female lays eggs in the intertidal zone of bays and estuaries.\" (3)","PeriodicalId":39845,"journal":{"name":"Biologist","volume":"49 5 1","pages":"9 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68760006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
