Professor Examines Continuing Appeal of Nancy Drew
Saint Mary's College English Professor Janice Doane was quoted in a Contra Costa Times article on June 10 about the lasting popularity of books about the fictional detective Nancy Drew.
Doane, a Nancy Drew fan since childhood, taught a course last year that traced the literary roots of modern-day female detectives from Nancy Drew back through the pre-Sherlock Holmes era. Doane said her students loved the detective's combination of feminity, intelligence and spunk.
