While Wilkie Collins’ novels The Moonstone (1868) and The Woman in White (1859-60) have long been accepted as part of the early mystery canon, Collins’ earlier novel The Dead Secret (1857) is rarely included. The Dead Secret is here reconsidered as one of the earliest English female detective novels, revealing its heretofore unrecognised significance to the genre of detective fiction and the evolution of the literary female detective. The Dead Secret’s protagonist, Rosamond, is almost Holmesian in her methodical collection of evidence and tactical lines of questioning to arrive at the solution

One feature of this work is that the people who solve the novel’s mystery are Iinuma, an apprentice doctor, and Kogure, a detective novelist and a member of the press. Their relationship is reminiscent of the one between Holmes and Watson, but the detective and the narrator are not clearly distinct, and in fact their voices

The review deals with Luc Boltanski's Mysteries and Conspiracies [Enigmes et complots]. The following is noted as defects of the reviewed book: detective fiction is associated with anxieties that question the framework of modern reality. Such attribution, it is argued, results from inaccurate comparison of detective fiction to a spy novel. The reviewer identifies contradictions in the definition of detective fiction: on the one hand, it is characterised by the proverbial anxiety. On the other, the writer suggests that unravelling a mystery normalises the ‘integrity of predictable expectations.

Translating Agatha Christie's first detective novels was a challenge for the German-language translators and publishers involved. Christie was first translated into German in 1927 by Irene Kafka. However, the three Christie novels she translated were all re-translated within a span of ten years. This article explores the background of the translations of Christie's novels, which can be found, on the one hand, in the tensions caused by the peripheral position of detective fiction in the polysystem (considered "filth and trash" by conservative forces), and, on the other, in the enormous success

Abstract:

<p>Even if the Gothic romance may be considered as one of the predecessors of detective fiction, the world model proposed by the latter seems to exclude what was the essence of the former: the irrational underlying the proposed world model. However, some of detective novel writers deploy Gothic conventions in their texts, thus questioning the rational order of the reality presented there. Such a genological syncretism is typical - among others - of the novels by John Dickson Carr. The paper is an analysis of Gothic conventions and their functions in four earliest novels by Carr, featurin

Abstract:

Although it remains one of the most popular genres worldwide, detective fiction is usually regarded as a purely commercial form. Because of this, detective novels, short stories, and films are rarely subjected to the same critical scrutiny and attention as other, more respected modes of writing and representation. Nevertheless, because of its attention to the character of everyday life, detective fiction is a perfect case study for determining national attitudes towards gender. Generally speaking, women perform three different functions in Japanese detective fiction. They are either hapless vi

Abstract:

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the peak period of the development of public case novels, a large number of excellent works of public case novels were produced. During this period, public case novels were different in their narrative structure and focus, which had a direct impact on the transformation and evolution of public case novels in various historical periods, providing a structural model and acceptance basis for the networked development of “Chinese detective novels” and “martial arts novels”. The rise of the online novel works in recent years has inherited and innovated various as

This work is devoted to the consideration of the narrative model of “Cinderella”, characteristic of Tatiana Ustinova’s women’s novels. The artistic world of the writer’s novels has pronounced signs of a fairy-tale world: distance from the real, isolation, repeatability, which generates a text of a special type, which we could conditionally call a modern detective tale.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the image of Robin Ellakot in the context of its correspondence to the image of a classical detective partner. We consider this study relevant because there are currently no serious attempts to analyze the heroes of Galbraith's novels, at least not with regard to the canon of the detective genre. The subject of detective partners has not been adequately researched, and works have focused mainly on the character of the detective. A similar approach can be observed in individual samples of the analysis of Galbraith's works. Therefore, the present work makes an attempt to ela

Abstract:

Detective fiction is a genre characterized by mystery, reasoning, and intrigue that has captivated readers for centuries. However, the mystery here does not rely on theology but is rooted in logic. Malmgren (1997), in Bloody Murder, defines detective fiction as a hybrid genre encompassing elements of detective crime, psychological analysis, suspense, and police procedural stories. It ensures that the detective's resolution of the crime presented to them does not depend on “divine revelations, feminine intuition, nonsensical ramblings, trickery, coincidence, or acts of God.”

Abstract:

The article focuses on the issue of postmodern reinterpretation of images and plots of ancient mythology in modern European literature. The analysis is based on the detective novels “The Passenger” and “The Black Line” by the French writer Jean-Christophe Grangé. The study aims to confirm the mythopoeic nature of the novels by the writer Jean-Christophe Grangé, who intentionally complicates the semantic field of his works with allusions and reminiscences in order to attract a more educated, literarily sophisticated reader to the genre of “light”, “mass” literature.
