>>John Cawelti and others have pointed out the
development of the lone cowboy
protagonist into the lone P.I. Obviously, Sam Spade follows
this
tradition of the lone hero.<<
Cawelti teaches at the University of Kentucky. His specialty
is popular
culture, which he's written about extensively (you can
probably find
some of his books from the Popular Press, published by
Bowling Green
University). While I was working on my master's at UK, he
taught
undergrad- and graduate-level courses on crime novels.
