FEATURES OF THE ENGLISH DETECTIVE GENRE IN LITERATURE
Abstract
This course work is devoted to the definition and description of the genre of detective literature, as well as the proof that detective literature, especially English-language, is a complex and full-fledged genre with all the features inherent in this genre. Detective fiction has long been considered an inferior style of literature. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, this opinion was very widespread, but despite this, there are stories in which solving the crime is the main storyline. The detective itself as a genre has proved its right to exist.
