In the structuralist understanding as proposed by John G. Cawelti, a classical detective novel is defined as a formula which contains prescribed elements and develops in a predefined, ritualistic manner. When described in this way, the crime fiction formula very closely resembles a recipe: when one cooks, they also add prescribed ingredients in a predefined way in order to produce the final dish.This surprising parallel serves as the starting point for this book's analysis of classical detective novels by Agatha Christie. Here, a structuralist approach to Golden Age crime fiction is complement

Tweehonderd jaar geleden, in november 1804, overleden de schrijfsters en levensgezellinnen Betje Wolff en Aagje Deken. Zij belandden op begraafplaats ter navolging in Den Haag, maar hun werk werd tot leven gekust door zeer diverse minnaars en minnaressen. Wat hen verbond, was de ambitie om hun liefde gestalte te geven in onderzoek, gedenkstenen, toneelstukken, prenten, literaire prijzen en een heus museum. En in vele heruitgaven van de Historie van Mejuffrouw Sara Burgerhart (1782). Onbreekbare Burgerharten is een dwars en geleerd boek. Het gaat over de canonisering en monumentalisering van Wolff en Deken en over dát werk dat daarbij onderbelicht is gebleven. Over het Damesleesmuseum, de ballingschap en de kermis. En over Wolff en Deken in de verbeelding van Hella S. Haasse en Kees ’t Hart. Onderdak vinden verder geletterde liefhebbers als P.J. Buijnsters, Lizet Duyvendak, Lia van Gemert, Joost Kloek, Ellen Krol, Olf Praamstra, Joost Rosendaal en Arie Storm.

Agatha Christie is one of the most popular and most translated authors of all time. Yet there is little academic work on her writing. This book sets out to rectify this. No matter where in the world you are, Hercule Poirot is a name that conjures up certain associations. The detailed analysis of the original text, three German and two Dutch translations of The Mysterious Affair at Styles however shows that his depiction differs immensely between the individual texts. In the course of this book, reasons for these differences are found via the analysis of the shifts of status of Agatha Christie as an author, of detective fiction and of translations from English in Germany and the Netherlands. During this exploration the discovery will be made that, when translated, escapist literature such as Christie’s detective fiction actually becomes a highly political affair.

This book is the first fully theorized queer reading of a Golden Age British crime writer. Agatha Christie was the most commercially successful novelist of the twentieth century, and her fiction remains popular. She created such memorable characters as Hercule Poirot and Jane Marple, and has become synonymous with a nostalgic, conservative tradition of crime fiction. J.C. Bernthal reads Christie through the lens of queer theory, uncovering a playful, alert, and subversive social commentary. 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. Christie engaged with debates around human identity in a unique historical period affected by two world wars. The final chapter considers twenty-first century Poirot and Marple adaptations, with visible LGBT characters, and poses the question: might the books be queerer?

La colonie grecque d’Agathé, établie par les Phocéens de Marseille, déjà citée par des auteurs de l’Antiquité, a fait couler beaucoup d’encre parmi les historiens modernes qui cherchaient surtout sa localisation précise et sa date de fondation. Les premières recherches de terrain de Raymond Aris à la fin des années 1930, puis les travaux d’André Nickels dans les années 1970-1980 ont permis de confirmer la présence de la ville antique sous le site de la ville actuelle d’Agde, et de mieux connaître la vie de ses habitants. Ils ont également occasionné la découverte des deux nécropoles se rapportant à cet établissement : le Peyrou 2, fort de trente-cinq tombes s’échelonnant entre l’extrême fin du Ve siècle et le milieu du IIe siècle av. J.-C., et Saint-André, avec seulement deux tombes conservées de la seconde moitié du IIe siècle av. J.-C. Cet ouvrage étudie de manière détaillée ces sépultures et leur aménagement. Il fait une large place aux défunts eux-mêmes, et aux objets qui accompagnent certains d’entre eux. Il met ainsi en lumière des pratiques funéraires révélatrices de coutumes grecques, très différentes de celles du monde gaulois environnant. Fort proches de ceux de Marseille/Massalia, comparables à ceux d’Ampurias/Emporion, ces usages participent à la définition d’un "paysage" funéraire propre aux colonies grecques de la Méditerranée nord-occidentale.
