In English and American cultures, detective fiction has a long and
illustrious history. Its origins can be traced back to major
developments in Anglo-American law, like the concept of
circumstantial evidence and the rise of lawyers as heroic figures.
Edgar Allen Poe's writings further fueled this cultural phenomenon,
with the use of enigmas and conundrums in his detective stories, as
well as the hunt-and-chase action of early police detective novels.
Poe was only one staple of the genre, with detective fiction
contributing to a thriving literary market that later influenced
Arthur Conan Doyle's work.-This text examines the emergence of
short detective fiction in the nineteenth century, as well as the
appearance of detectives in Victorian novels. It explores how the
genre has captivated readers for centuries, with the chapters
providing a framework for a more complete understanding of
nineteenth-century detective fiction.
