Dashiell Hammett's 'The Maltese Falcon'
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page paper looks at Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon in terms of the elements of the classic detective work it retains, and those it deviates from. The paper concludes that the classic detective story as represented by the works of Conan Doyle coddled us by giving us the benefit of not only what Holmes saw and heard but what he thought as well. Hammett denies us this, but in doing so, he challenges the reader to rely on his own intuition and his own wits. No additional sources cited.

6 pages in length. Sprouting from a most unexpected source, The Maltese Falcon represented great change within the genre of detective novels. Writings prior to the groundbreaking book were boring at best, with the same Sherlock Holmes-esque characterizations over and over again. The writer describes how The Maltese Falcon breathed new life into an era of rather unexciting sleuthing mysteries with the introduction of author Dashiell Hammett. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
