Abstract

This thesis consists of two parts: a creative component, the novel “Watershed”, and a theoretical essay: the exegesis. Both address the question: What narrative strategies of characterisation might be utilised to represent the detective figure as a bearer of ideological significance in crime novels set in the First World War?
