Agatha Christie fans will be pleased to know that the library has purchased a collection of new essays edited by J.C. Bernthal which bring fresh perspectives to her work, including readings and discussions of little-known aspects of her life, career, and legacy.When Agatha Christie died in 1976, she was the bestselling mystery writer in history. 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 (McFarland Books).
The ageless Agatha Christie is a valuable addition to our extensive collection on Christie's scholarship. If the book is not currently held at your campus, you can place a hold request and the book will be delivered to either the Townsville or Cairns Library. We also provide an off-campus loan service for students living more than 50kms from either Townsville or Cairns.
