AGATHA CHRISTIE’S ARTISTIC UNIVERSE: GENRE POETICS, NARRATIVE ARCHITECTURE, AND STYLISTIC ECONOMY
Downloads
This article examines the artistic universe of Agatha Christie through the lens of genre poetics, narrative architecture, and stylistic economy.
Drawing on narratological and structuralist approaches, the study analyzes how Christie constructs complex detective plots while
maintaining formal clarity and reader accessibility. Particular attention is paid to her manipulation of narrative perspective, temporal
organization, and semiotic encoding of clues. The research demonstrates that Christie’s fiction not only consolidates the conventions of
classical detective literature but also subverts them through innovative narrative strategies, thereby redefining the epistemological
foundations of the genre
