How the modern detective novel was born ol — —— Millions of readers, like me, love the books of Gillian. Flynn and Ruth Rendell, of Lee Child and Laura Lippman, But most fans of modern crime fiction know very little about the writers who invented the modern detective novel Many ofthe best early detective stories were short stories. igar Allan Poe (1809-1849) was probably the author of the first detective story. Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) created perhaps the most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, Father Brown was also a detective who was nearly as popular as Holmes; he was created by G.K. ‘Chesterton (1874-1936), Father Brown only appeared in short stories, and Sherlock Holmes appeared in over 50 short stories and only four novels, including The Hound ofthe Baskervilles, where he solves the mystery of an ‘enormous ghost dog. In 1916, in her book The Mysterious Afar at Styles, Agatha Christie introduced a new type of detective novel, and. anew detective, Hercule Poirot. This book was a bit different because the plot was more important than the characters and the writer asked readers to guess the name of the murderer. Later, in the 1930s and. 40s, Dorothy Sayers wrote detective novels where the relationships between the characters were sometimes, ‘more interesting than the plot. Reading can give usa fascinating view of the past, and when we read these detective stories and novels we can also learn something about how people lived and thought in the 19th and 20th centuries. These authors, are still very popular. They influence present-day authors such as J.K. Rowling and they are probably going to inspire crime fiction for decades to come. ‘Adapted trom the Bri © CAN YOU understand these people? @8.25 Watch or listen and answer the questions. c Rebecca James Maura. = Asya.
