Talk - The Rules of Murder: The Golden Age of Detective Stories

Wednesday 12th June at 2pm.

£4 for members. £8 for non-members

A talk by Elaine Henderson. 

Emerging in the gloomy, sooty streets of the mid-Victorian period, the British detective story quickly developed a life of its own, adapting to changing times, changing tastes, until the post-First World War eruption of new writers, including Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and Anthony Berkeley, who established the 'rules' of detective fiction and created what is known as the Golden Age of Detective Stories.

Come and join us as we investigate this enduringly popular literary genre - and take the opportunity to explore the PPL's own unique collection of Golden Age novels.
