Culture and Conduct in the Novels of Henry James
Leonard Cassuto's remarkable book posits that the hard-boiled novel continues an obsession with the themes of domesticity and mutual feeling that characterized the 19th C sentimental novel. He argues that the hard-boiled hero is increasingly sentimentalized/domesticated, while the villain is increasingly pathologized in the figure of the serial killer. Cassuto's study is convincing and lays out a powerful counter-narrative to conventional readings of the hard-boiled story as fundamentally reactionary.
