High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Golden Age of Detective Fiction was an era of classic murder mystery novels produced by various authors, all following similar patterns and style. Mademoiselle de Scuderi, by E.T.A. Hoffmann 1819, in which Mlle de Scudery, a kind of 18th century Miss Marple, establishes the innocence of the police's prime suspect in the murder of a jeweler, is sometimes cited as the first detective story and a direct influence on Edgar Allan Poe's later 1841 novel, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, featuring the literary sleuth C. Auguste Dupin. Some years later, in 1868, Wilkie Collins' wrote The Moonstone. The culminating achievement of the early school of detective fiction was the Sherlock Holmes stories of Arthur Conan Doyle, which formed the model for the Golden Age in general. The Golden Age proper is in practice usually taken to refer to a type of fiction which was predominant in the 1920s and 1930s but had been written since at least 1911 and is still being written — though in much smaller numbers — today.
