As the creator of immortal detectives Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple, she continues to enthrall readers around the world and is drawing increasing attention from scholars, historians, and critics. But Christie wrote far beyond Poirot and Marple. A varied life including war work, archaeology, and two very different marriages provided the backdrop to a diverse body of work. This encyclopedic companion summarizes and explores Christie's entire literary output, including the detective fiction, plays, radio dramas, adaptations, and her little-studied non-crime writing. It details all published works and key themes and characters, as well as the people and places that inspired them, and identifies a trove of uncollected interviews, articles, and unpublished material, including details that have never appeared in print. For the casual reader looking for background information on their favorite mystery to the dedicated scholar tracking down elusive new angles, this companion will provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date information"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Christie, Agatha, $d 1890-1976 $x Criticism and interpretation. 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Women authors, English $y 20th century $v Biography. 600 17 $a Christie, Agatha, $d 1890-1976. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00033432 650 7 $a Detective and mystery stories, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00891515 650 7 $a Women authors, English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177253 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a McFarland companions to mystery fiction ; $v 12. 941 $a 1 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214031735.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3D2B42629A4F11EE9D2109AF26ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b IOWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
