Dashiell Hammet, known for his detective novels, not only shaped the noir genre, but also became an important voice of his time, reflecting social and political changes in the early twentieth-century United States. This paper examines how Hammet's political views and his literary techniques contributed to the development of modernism in American literature. The paper analyses the author's key works with a focus on their political background and critical attitude towards society. The links between Hammet's literary techniques and those of others with modernist trends such as fragmentation, subjectivity, and experimentation with form are also examined. The article emphasises how Hammet used the detective genre to explore complex issues of identity, power and morality, thereby making a significant contribution to the modernist tradition of American literature.
