In 1930, six of the most renowned mystery writers of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction came together to form the Detection Club. The members of the club were Agatha Christie, G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers, Ronald Knox, Anthony Berkeley, and Miles Burton. The club's goal was to promote the art of detective fiction and to set standards for the genre.
