THE YEAR 1824
The detective genre is said to have begun in the mid-19th century with the publication of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" in 1841. This story is considered one of the first detective stories and helped establish many of the conventions of the genre.
Traditionally the inventors of the short story are Edgar Allan Poe in America and Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol in Europe. Really however the short story has been around since the beginning of writing and these authors merely started a fad.

Cultures began writing down their stories around 5,000 years ago, with the earliest known examples found in ancient Mesopotamia, where cuneiform writing emerged around 3200 BCE. This marked a significant shift from oral traditions to recorded narratives, allowing for the preservation and transmission of stories across generations. Other early writing systems, such as Egyptian hieroglyphs and Chinese characters, also developed around the same period.

As to their relationship, Poe and Frances Allan and a loving relationship. She doted on him and he was devoted to her. Poe and John Allan had a stormy relationship. He most likely never wanted to take Poe in to begin with. Then he refused to pay tuition for Poe to go to the University of Virginia or pay for any of Poe's gambling debts.
