| Abstract: | The diploma thesis with the title Development of the female fiction detective from 1930 to 2010 is dealing with three female detective characters that appeared in the mentioned time period and made or are still making some influence on the readers. These three detectives are Agatha Christie’s Miss Jane Marple, Nancy Drew, a character of many ghost-writers, and Mma Precious Ramotswe, the creation of Alexander McCall Smith.
This dissertation starts with the beginning of detective fiction and how it developed through ages. It describes the genre in America and Britain and leads us through the Golden Age of detective fiction. It continues with description of differences between the detective story, the crime novel and the police novel. There are also explanations of several subgenres.
The last part describes the main characters. We can see their beginnings, methods and ways of solving crimes, how did writers’ backgrounds affect the knowledge of their fiction characters and what are some similarities and differences between characters. Through this description it is evident, how a female fiction detective develops. Finally there is a short comparison between the main characters, to support the thesis. |
