The Golden Age of Detective Fiction is the moniker given to a period of time in the 1920s and 1930s, which is considered to be, as the name suggests, an era of great creative prosperity for mystery and crime fiction. Notably the Golden Age gave birth to the Whodunnit and to Hardboiled Crime Fiction, with adaptations of works from this period helping to establish FilmNoir.
