Developmental Aspects of British Crime Novel

Summary/Abstract: The crime novel in British literature and culture has long held a significant place. Since the beginnings of the genre many critically acknowledged authors have,with more or less ardor and success, tried themselves within the field, of ten times combining crime fiction with the so called high literature. The scope of its historical development exemplifies the significance of this genre, as do the many subgenres determined by the presence of varied aspects of crime fiction. During the 20th century the crime novel has gradually assumed the serious role of the interpreter of the human condition and psyche, and has become the indicator of social and individual states of being. Thus it has completed a major shift into the main and critically acclaimed stream of contemporary British literature through unique creative poetics of individual authors.
