This new edition to the Crime Files series considers how the cozy world of Agatha Christie is threatened by modernity and uncertainty: war, social mobility, extremist politics and moral liberalization.
This study shows how she sought to reconcile her attachment to the Victorian past with her recognition of a new society that undermined established order and in doing so gave more opportunities to women, confused class-boundaries, extended tolerance, allowed the cult of pleasure and self-assertion and revealed the ambiguities of respectability.
