Book synopsis

This book provides an original§and compelling analysis of the ways in which British women's golden age crime§narratives negotiate the conflicting social and cultural forces that influenced§depictions of gender in popular culture in the 1920s until the late 1940s. The book explores a§wide variety of texts produced both by writers who have been the focus of a§relatively large amount of critical attention, such as Agatha Christie, Dorothy§L. Sayers and Margery Allingham, but also those who have received comparatively§little, such as Christianna Brand, Ngaio Marsh, Gladys Mitchell, Josephine Tey§and Patricia Wentworth. Through its original readings, this book explores the§ambivalent nature of modes of femininity depicted in golden age crime fiction,§and shows that seemingly conservative resolutions are often attempts to provide§a 'modern-yet-safe' solution to the conflicts raised in the texts.§
