Irish-American Writers
Raymond Chandler
Anglo-American novelist and screenwriter Raymond Chandler had an immense stylistic influence upon the modern private detective story, especially in the style of the writing and the attitudes now characteristic of the genre. His protagonist, Philip Marlowe, the quintessential private detective, was played on-screen by Humphrey Bogart. Chandler was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1888, and moved to the UK in 1900 with his Irish-born mother. In 1907, he was naturalized as a British subject, but he regained U.S. citizenship in 1956.
