Thanks, Enrique. For clearing this all up.
Do you know whether he did contribute indexing to methodical
criminal investigation and procedures? That's what I vaguely
recall that many of the critics in the long forgotten essay
seemed to agree upon.
Keith
Juri, Mark, other friends,
Actually, you mean Vidocq, the famous French criminal turned
sleuth. His memoirs are so fantastic many considered them
fiction or exagerated truth.
Gaborieau was after Poe and a Dickens/Collins contemporary
who wrote
"L'Affaire Lerouge", the first French detective novel and one
of the first in any language. His main detective here was P鲥
Tabaret, but a minor figure in Lerouge, Lecoq, became the
protagonist of most (if not all) of his subsequent mystery
novels and is perhaps the first recurring mystery novel
detective. After his (Gaborieau's) death, Fortune De
Boisgobey (may have his name spelled wrong!) wrote more Lecoq
novels. Lecoq and Dupin (Poe's creation) were mentioned
contemptuosly by Sherlock Holmes in his first appearence, "A
Study in Scarlet".
