THE EVOLUTION OF DETECTIVE FICTION:
It is generally believed that Poe’s “Murders in the Rue Morgue” was the first detective story, but others challenge this claim. However, there is little doubt that the first detective appeared in the mid-1800’s. In this course we will track the sleuth from the earliest development through to present day psychological thrillers. We will include readings from the Golden Age, the Hardboiled, and the Noir.
In 1928 S.S. Van Dine wrote “Twenty Rules for Writing Detective Stories”. Do these rules still hold good today? How does fiction represent the society of the day? What can we tell about society from the way crime and punishment are discussed in fiction? What effect has modern day technology had on the genre? Are today’s stories more “howdunits” than whodunits?
Over the eighteen weeks we will join various detectives in their quest to solve crimes and put our own skills to the test.
