Queering Agatha Christie by Jc Bernthal
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.
“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)
