Sir John Fielding (1721–80) We Współczesnym Kryminale Anglojęzycznym
Zagadnienia Rodzajów Literackich, LXIII, z. 3 PL ISSN 0084-4446 DOI: https://doi.org/10.26485/ZRL/2020/63.3/5 Jakub Lipski Uniwersytet Kazimierza Wielkiego w Bydgoszczy* https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0951-3702 Sir John Fielding (1721–80) we współczesnym kryminale anglojęzycznym Sir John Fielding (1721–80) in Contemporary Crime Fiction in English Abstract This article discusses the ways in which the life and achievements of Sir John Fielding are reconstructed in contemporary crime fiction in English. The material under scrutiny consists of selected examples of the so-called Georgian crime/mystery, that is, crime narratives set in Georgian England (1714–1837, the reign of George I, George II, George III and George IV). The discussed works include those in which Fielding functions as a secondary character — the series Dr. Sam: Johnson, Detector by Lillian de la Torre and The Demoniacs by John Dickson Carr — as well as those in which he becomes the protagonist — the series Sir John Fielding Mysteries (Bruce Alexander, 1994–2005) and John Rawlings Mysteries (Deryn Lake, 1994–2000). The offered reading of these texts is contextualized historically as well as being informed by Michel Foucault’s ideas put forward in Discipline and punish. historical crime fiction, Georgian crime, John Fielding, surveillance, gaze * Katedra Literatur Anglojęzycznych, Wydział Literaturoznawstwa, Uniwersytet Kazimierza Wielkiego w Bydgoszczy ul. Jagiellońska 11, 85-067 Bydgoszcz e-mail: [email protected] Kryminał historyczny jest jedną z dominujących odmian gatunkowych we współczesnej lite- raturze kryminalnej. Najwyraźniej istnieje przekonanie, że skoro wszystko już zostało napi- sane, zwłaszcza w odniesieniu do struktury fabularnej i wyborów tematycznych, jedyne, co twórcy pozostaje, to rekonstrukcja być może zapomnianego już świata innych epok.
