Many scholars consider the first mystery/detective story Edgar Allan Poe's 1841 The Murders in the Rue Morgue. In 1859-1860, the serialized version of The Woman in White, by Wilkie Collins, created a sensation. This was pre-Sherlock Holmes. By the the turn of the century, Holmes had already made his appearance, and the emergence of dime novels and pulp magazines also helped the genre expand. A profusion of novels in the 1920s fed the public appetite, and then a huge popularity of pulp magazines grew in the 1930s and 1940s broadening the interest in mystery, suspense, and thrillers. The Noir tradition, also considered, by some, the same as Hardboiled, seems to have begun as a literary style going back to the 1920s and a writer named Carroll John Daly. Characterized by a sometimes bleak, desparing way of presenting crime dramas, the people live lives of ambiguity, moral decay, neurotic frustration, or sexual disfunction. Noir/Hardboiled is a diverse genre that includes gangsters, social problems, heists, police procedurals, murders, and mysteries. Many of the archetypal motifs of Noir and Hardboiled evolved out of the crime fiction that reflected the 1920s depression. Dashiell Hammett presented the genre to the general public, and it was Raymond Chandler who enriched it.
