商品描述
The present study compares the depiction of female as well as male characters and their identities in American detective fiction at different times. In detail, it analyzes to what extent American hard-boiled detective fiction by and about professional women from the 1980s onwards reinvents the formula and the gender perceptions of their male forerunners in the 1920s and 1930s. It examines how the female authors alter the norms and ideologies of the male original and adjust the depiction of female as well as male characteristics and roles toward a less stereotyped, but more authentic presentation.

本研究比較了美國偵探小說中女性和男性角色及其身份在不同時期的描繪。具體而言,它分析了自1980年代以來,專業女性創作的美國硬派偵探小說在多大程度上重新詮釋了1920年代和1930年代男性前輩的公式和性別觀念。研究探討了女性作者如何改變男性原作的規範和意識形態,並調整女性和男性特徵及角色的描繪,以達到更少刻板印象但更真實的呈現。
