As his title would suggest, Orwell's subject in this essay is murder, specifically what he calls our great period in murder, our Elizabethan period, defined as being roughly between 1850 and 1925.
Orwell's essay, Decline of the English Murder, was published in Tribune on 5 February 1946.
But nonetheless, Orwell's critique of post-war media consumption about crime has plenty to tell us about detective fiction in the first half of the 20th century too.
This is George Orwell writing in 1946, conjuring a cosy atmosphere ideal for the reading of horrible murder stories.
