3. Focus 1 Section I Background information Focus1 Section 1 Some Basic Facts about Detective Story Background Information The detective story, the tale featuring a mystery and/or the commission of a crime, emphasizes the search for a solution. The detective story is distinguished from other forms of fiction by the fact that it is a puzzle. Although a crime usually has been committed, the reader’s attention is directed to the baffling circumstances surrounding the crime rather than to the event itself. The tale’s climax is the solution of the puzzle, and what concerns readers most is the logical process in which the investigator follows a series of clues to this solution. Very often the detective solves the mystery by means of deductive reasoning from facts known both to the character and the reader. The first true detective stories were written in the 1840s by American author Edgar Allan Poe. Among Poe’s large output are five short narratives in which he originated almost every significant principle used by detective story writers for more than a century afterward. Detective stories as a popular form of literature began to flourish after the establishment of regular, paid police forces and their accompanying detective departments. In the late 1880s English author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the greatest of all fictional detectives, Sherlock Holmes. 上海交通大学出版社 美心英语
