The detective genre in 19th-century English literature emerged as a response to the social, cultural, and legal transformations of the Victorian era. Rooted in urbanization, the rise of crime, and advancements in legal systems, the genre offered both entertainment and moral reflection for its readers. Key figures such as Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, and Arthur Conan Doyle played pivotal roles in shaping the genre, introducing enduring archetypes and innovative narrative structures. Detective fiction not only captivated audiences with its intricate plots and logical deductions but also reinforced societal values by exploring themes of justice and morality. This study examines the genre's foundational characteristics, its influence on Victorian readers, and its enduring legacy in modern literature and culture.
