Detective fiction has long captivated readers with its intellectual puzzles, suspenseful narratives, and richly drawn characters. From the rational, observant Sherlock Holmes created by Arthur Conan Doyle to the morally complex detectives of contemporary crime fiction, the genre has evolved significantly over time. This thesis explores the historical development of detective fiction in English literature, examining how it has transformed from its classical roots into modern narratives that reflect shifting cultural, social, and psychological paradigms.
