y the earliest known example of an author proclaiming their dedication to the concept of fairplay edwards 2015 however it wouldn t be until nearly 20 years later the movement was set in motion to turn this into the prevailing standard of the genre with the beginning of a series of mystery stories from gilbert keith g k chesterton in 1910 chesterton wrote valentin follows a curious trail the first in a series of 53 short stories featuring his parish priest sleuth father brown the crimes featured in these stories would abandon the more mechanical nature common among pre golden age mystery fiction and replace them with more cerebral solutions preying on reader assumptions in other words these stories would go on to serve as models for future authors of the genre and for this reason g k chesterton is sometimes credited as the father of detective fiction as it would go on to be known during the golden age with it being claimed that under the influence of chesterton s father brown the mystery story became less a portrait of the detective s personality and more a puzzle that the detective and the reader could both solve g k chesterton poetry foundation n d these stories feature perhaps the earliest versions of many of the tricks that would go on to become mainstays of the orthodox mystery genre such tropes as manually attacking the victim with a projectile to make it appear as if they were shot from afar and hiding something conspicuous by surrounding it with like things e g a forest is the best place to hide a leaf find themselves often sourced back in the father brown stories and would in time become mainstays of the orthodox mystery genre both in the east and the west in concert with this was the 1913 publishing of trent s last case by e c bentley which was as bentley put it a a detective story of a new sort edwards 2017 trent s last case famously deconstructs the then omnipresent trope of the faultless all knowing detective by featuring an ending in which the detective s seemingly perfect airtight solution was entirely incorrect however despite the work being a scathing rebuke of a genre trope what the work would go on to remain in the public consciousness for was not its metatextual commentary on the genre but rather its clever surprising solution edwards 2017 for this reason trent s last case can be considered the novel that fully inaugurates the golden age being the work to pave the way for future authors to write ingenious detective puzzles edwards 2017 with a focus on clever tricks and misdirection lord gorell s in the night written in 1917 is one of the earliest novels to show that following trent s last case the idea of fairplay was here to stay edwards 2015 in the introduction gorell proclaims that every essential fact is related as it is discovered and readers are as far as possible given the eyes of the investigators and equal opportunities with them of arriving at the truth 1917 this quote is one of the earliest examples of the trope of the challenge to the reader in which the author breaks the fourth wall to assure the reader that the game is being played fairly similarly the novel contains a very early appearance of the trope of including a floorplan allowing readers to grasp the geography of the crime scene making in the night despite being forgotten by even the most diehard historians of the genre a perfect microcosm of what would go on to follow in the golden age of detective fiction edwards 2017 in the coming years and particularly beginning in the 1920s golden age mystery novels exploded in popularity agatha christie to this day the best selling novelist in the world wrote her debut the mysterious affair of styles which featured belgian sleuth hercule poirot in 1920 and many of the other representative golden age mystery authors such as dorothy l sayers john dickson carr erle stanley gardner ngaio marsh and ellery queen also got their start in the 1920s and 1930s along with them came less universally recognized but certainly not less important or less worthy golden age mystery authors such as christopher bush stuart palmer christianna brand molly thynne and baynard kendrick suffice it to say that the genre was in full swing written by all manner of people all over america and english the growing sentiment that detective novels must be fair and engaging as experiments in gameplaying with the reader the quality that defined the golden age now running at full steam was crystallized with the many attempts to design sets of rules by which the genre must play such authors as a a milne the creator of winnie the pooh and writer of a single detective novel the red house mystery and poet t s eliot all made varying attempts to create a list of rules that if followed would supposedly distinguish a good mystery novel from the bad edwards 2015 however the attempt that would go on to be the most well remembered widely regarded frequently referenced of this trend is that of father ronald knox in editing the 1928 anthology best detective stories of the year writer father ronald knox laid out 10 mystery writing commandments as they were called in what would be known as knox s decalogue although many of the rules were conceived in jest such as one disallowing making a chinaman character simply to turn him into a killer in a tongue in cheek rebuke of the racist tendencies of contemporary thriller authors to this day knox s decalogue is frequently turned to by writers of classically styled mystery fiction either as guidelines to follow or to break edwards 2015 many of the rules even if the decalogue isn t intended to be as serious as it seems are still to this day considered important guidelines for writing mystery fiction such as disallowing excessive secret passages requiring the mystery give the reader all of the information given to the detective and disallowing fictional or unknown poisons being brought up at the end of the story as the golden age and its standards began to become more and more defined and translations of these stories began to make their way to japan there developed an increasing necessity to separate the complex puzzle oriented mysteries from their predecessors that often incorporated elements of horror and the supernatural or adventure stories taku 2020 in 1926 the aforementioned critic saburo koga coined the term honkaku a classification that would go on to be spearheaded by edgoawa ranpo as the new mainstream of the mystery genre taku 2020 however these two authors have up to this point developed their own writing styles and despite their fervent campaigning for the orthodox mystery s merits were unable to take the leap as the first japanese writers to adopt it in their writing taku 2020 what finally took the honkaku mystery from a foreign novelty to something fully embraced by japanese authors was the american van dine boom reaching japan with the 1929 1930 translations of the detective novels of s s van dine taku 2020 s s van dine was a preeminent figure of american detective fiction whose works discarded nearly every literary pretension not relevant to the core mystery plot his undistracted focus on a mystery for mystery s sake was considered by the japanese reading public to be refreshing and his works boomed in popularity paving the way for a wave of translations of other influential authors like the aforementioned christie queen and carr taku 2020 this influx of english detective novels generated enough interest in the genre for the first generation of japanese orthodox mystery writers to be born taku 2020 the genre was headed by keikichi osaka who debuted with the hangman of the department store in 1932 and is known to have set the foundation for japan s impossible crime scene and yu aoi whose 1936 novel the tragedy of the funatomi family is credited as the first japanese novel to adopt freeman wills crofts s style of mysteries focusing on alibis and railway tables taku 2020 although wartime bans on writing detective novels during world war ii prevented these early adopters from truly ushering in the honkaku era soon after the war s end the genre finally flourished as a book starved japanese public took to writing with abandon leading to the appearance of such authors as seishi yokomizo whose debut in 1946 with the honjin murders also created kindaichi kosuke one of the most iconic japanese detective characters of all time other authors whose appearances in the post war honkaku age led to great developments in the genre were tetsuya ayukawa whose 1956 debut work black trunk was another entry in the crofts like railway mystery and akimitsu takagi whose 1948 debut the tattoo murder case was an early pioneer of the trope of japanese mysteries focusing on corpse puzzles that utilize the victim s dead body itself for tricks taku 2020 however the rapid changes in post war society alongside shifting literary trends soon pushed orthodox mysteries into decline both in the english speaking world and japan post war decline of the genre while the end of the second world war gave japanese orthodox detective fiction a second wind it is often considered to be the end of the english golden age at this time a number of works were published specifically oriented around criticism of the golden age mystery novel edmund wilson in who cares who killed roger ackroyd the title of which recalls agatha christie s famous novel the murder of roger ackroyd wrote that when reading mystery novels he ought not to be expecting good writing characterization human interest or even atmos phere complaining that due to wooden writing and flat characters i understood that a true connoisseur of this fiction must be able to suspend the demands of his imagination and literary taste and take the thing as an intellectual problem but how you arrive at that state of mind is what i do not understand ultimately dismissing the genre as inherently less than literature 1945 in addition to aping edmund wilson s complaints of a lack of characterization and style raymond chandler a forefront author of the hardboiled school of detective writing also wrote in the simple art of murder that fiction in any form has always intended to be realistic and that if fiction fails to meet this standard you cannot even accept it as a light novel for there is no story for the light novel to be about which he claims is a fault true of nearly all british detective fiction 1950 however the one prevailing criticism universal among all major critics of the genre is that the golden age detective novel eventually became too formulaic due to its rigid adherence to rules with chandler writing of the genre that it has learned nothing and forgotten nothing 1950 these criticisms which reflected what had slowly become the prevailing attitude of the times became a death knell for the golden age mystery genre as a preoccupation with realism and character driven stories took hold leading to the growth of the hardboiled detective story in the 1950s that being said to claim that the golden age mystery novel had died in its entirely is not true even when it had fallen out of favor as the prevailing school of thought in mystery writing many authors appeared during the second half of the 20th century to stubbornly adhere to the standard of the fairplay puzzle minded mystery such as roger ormerod norman berrow and douglas clark to name a few that being said it is nonetheless safe to say that the 1940s and 1950s spelled the end of the heyday of golden age mysteries japan saw a similar decline of orthodox mysteries in favor of realistic crime stories focusing on everyday people and exploring themes of injustice and corruption however the reasons this happened are fundamentally different from what caused the decline of english orthodox mysteries starting in the 1950s japan entered a period of heightened economic prosperity due to american assistance recovering from world war ii saito 1978 towards the end of the 1950s it was officially declared that japan was no longer in a state of postwar and stability became the new norm saito 1978 this era of peace is credited as the primary cause of the decline of the orthodox mystery the japanese public accustomed to the monotony of a safe everyday life would develop a macabre fascination with the idea that the spirit of crime may hide deep within salarymen and could flip everything they know entirely on its head saito 1978 as a result when matsumoto seicho in 1958 published points and lines and walls of eyes early pioneering novels of the shakaiha or social mystery that focused on such everyday crimes a so called seicho boom began in japan saito 1978 during this time many of the tropes characteristic of the honkaku mystery was slowly phased out as the shakaiha style gradually began to reject elaborate tricks and locked room concepts and ridicule great detectives as something childish shimada 2013 discussions about the honkaku mystery were treated as dangerous to the status quo of shakaiha to such a degree that those who deviated from the shakaiha style faced potential expulsion from the literary scene shimada 2013 in short the end of the english golden age and the end of the era of honkaku were two sides of the same coin the same events playing out in inverse of one another in america england growing resentments towards the genre as a result of a perceived lack of innovation or originality were the catalyst for the shift away from the golden age however japanese mystery fiction didn t pivot away from orthodox mysteries necessarily because of a growing resentment towards the genre but rather a new economic reality simply caused people to develop a new kind of interest in a new kind of crime story the resentment came later as a byproduct of the shift it s this fundamental difference that allowed shimada soji and ayatsuji yukito to pave the way for the revival of the honkaku school of mystery writing while the genre remained dormant in the english speaking world revival not long after the social school of mystery writing took hold the loosening of the rules of the fairplay orthodox mystery began saito 1978 with it also went the boundaries between detective fiction and other literary genres returning the genre to its amorphous ambiguity that defined its early years in japan allowing it to manifest as everything from romance to adventure stories to horror saito 1978 by the middle of the 1960s even matsumoto seicho the very man whose works ushered in this era of socially conscious mystery stories was calling for authors to begin to incorporate aspects of the honkaku genre into their writing saito 1978 to this end he edited and published a 10 volume collection of mystery stories called collection of neo orthodox detective stories the japanese title of which contained the first instance of the term shin honkaku neo orthodox saito 1978 the result of this endeavor was a return to print of many pre war and early post war honkaku mystery authors in ...
