Mental Floss shares six adaptations of what is considered the first detective story.
Its author may have been modest, but Poe’s revolutionary story inspired generations of copycat sleuths—some of whom bore a little too much resemblance to Dupin for fans’ comfort, as evidenced by a polemic against Sherlock Holmes sent to the New York Times Saturday Review in 1900. In 1944, the story was described as “[o]ne of the most important existing American literary manuscripts” by a New York Times article detailing the sale at auction of Poe’s original manuscript for $34,000—double what a Charles Dickens manuscript sold for at the same gallery just the day before.
