內(nèi)容簡介:

Detective story is a genre that is usually regarded as having begun with Edgar Allan Poe. Although this truism will be slightly challenged in the presentation, it is obvious that it is genre of the modernity. In the 19th century Central-European crime fiction was a complex genre, which will be illustrated with some examples, but in the first half of the 20th century it has been simplified with an exclusive focus on crime and investigation. It became a paradigm of bourgeois insecurity, which can be a reason why postmodernism took it as one of its master patterns. The postmodern anti-detective fiction mainly aimed at challenging modern epistemological standard. In the beginning of the 21stcentury, however, the traditional genre is getting complex again, involving social and political issues that were previously only implicitly allowed to enter the fictional worlds of crime fiction.
