Crime fiction is an ambivalent genre, which relies on typical narrative features and recognizable formulae, while self-reflexively drawing attention to how the individual story differs from its generic predecessors. The genre’s historical beginnigs are rooted in the nineteenth-century emergence of the professional detective and are implicated with the rise of American and English criminology and forensics. Postmodern fiction has employed the recognizable genre in order to parody and rewrite it into literature, while the metaphysical detective story ends with a question rather than the expected answer or solution to the crime. In the twenty-first century, some detective fiction has taken over the function of social realism from the nineteenth-century novel. In order to study this hybrid and productive genre we will look at the history of crime fiction from Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories and Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories to golden age detective fiction, hard-boiled crime fiction and its appropriations to more recent sub-genres such as the police procedural, the noir and anti-conspiracy thriller. We will pursue poststructuralist analogies between detection and the reading process and examine the function of intertextuality in detective novels. Other relevant approaches include the materialist focus on the body and the corpse in classical crime fiction as well as the relevance of such identity categories as gender, ethnicity and age to the detective genre.
