Who is called the pioneer of the modern detective story?
Answer: B
Edgar Allan Poe is called the pioneer of the modern detective story. His tale The Murders in the Rue Morgue (1841) introduced the detective C. Auguste Dupin and set the pattern that later writers followed. Hawthorne, Arthur Miller and Thoreau are known for other forms, so only Poe fits. Poe's three Dupin stories, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Mystery of Marie Roget and The Purloined Letter, set the pattern for the detective story with a brilliant amateur detective and a less clever narrator, which Conan Doyle later used with Sherlock Holmes.
