AB The Gothic novel and the Detective novel coincide in their literary development during the Victorian era, with the end of the nineteenth century being the period in which both genres show the greatest intertextuality. This dissertation analyses how the Gothic novel evolves and acquires Detective novel elements while the Detective novel becomes an independent genre from Gothic foundations. Accordingly, different narrative elements of two works that defined the Gothic novel and the Detective novel respectively have been analysed: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), by Robert Louis Stevenson; and A Study in Scarlet (1887), by Arthur Conan Doyle. A comparative methodology is therefore carried out, considering a formalist approach in which the division between story and plot is essential. Finally, this work demonstrates that both genres maintain the same narrative structure, setting, and archetypal characters.
