Beskrivning

This book is the first fully theorized queer reading of a Golden Age British crime writer. After considering Christie’s emergence in a commercial market hostile to her sex, in Queering Agatha Christie Bernthal explores homophobic stereotypes, gender performativity, queer children, and masquerade in key texts published between 1920 and 1952.

Recensioner i media

“Queering Agatha Christie is the latest of many works subjecting Christie’s considerable œuvre to new readings. … this volume is a timely, rich, immensely suggestive, and … wonderfully well-written reassessment of Agatha Christie and her work.” (Alyce von Rothkirchi, Modern Language Review, Vol. 112, October, 2017)
