When Agatha Christie died in 1976, she was the bestselling mystery writer in history. This collection of new essays brings fresh perspectives to Christie scholarship with new readings and discussions of little-known aspects of her life, career and legacy. The contributors explore her relationship with modernism, the relevance of queer theory, television adaptations, issues with translations, information behavior theory, feminist readings, postcolonial tribute novels, celebrity culture and heritage cinema. The final word is given to fans in an editorial that collates testimonies from readers, collectors and enthusiasts.
“this is a brilliant essay collection on one of the world’s most popular detective fiction writers...a thought provoking collection which provides a new look on Christie and her work. This is definitely a must read for Christie fans”—CADS; “definitely recommend...the arguments posed are thought provoking and engage with Christie in a new way...something of interest for every Christie fan”—Cross Examining Crime.
