Alle Angaben ohne Gewähr. © Diogenes Verlag AG www.diogenes.ch e-mail: [email protected] Diogenes Bio-Bibliographie Margery (Louise) Allingham Margery Allingham, geboren am 20. Mai 1904. Es war für sie ganz selbstverständlich, daß sie anfing zu schreiben; kein anderer Beruf galt in ihrer Familie als natürlich oder normal. Noch als Teenager schrieb sie während ihrer Schulzeit an der Perse High School in Cambridge und dem Regent Street Polytechnic of Speech Training ihren ersten Roman Black’erchief Dick. 1928 – mit dreiundzwanzig Jahren – sicherte sie sich für immer einen Platz unter den Romanautoren, als sie ihren ersten Campion-Detektivroman verfasste. Ihre frühen Bücher The Crime at Black Dudley, Mystery Mile und Look to the Lady musste sie in der spärlichen Freizeit schreiben, die ihre Filmarbeit ihr ließ. Damals wurden ihre Bücher von den wenigen fortschrittlichen Geistern geliebt, denen die frische und nicht alltägliche Art gefiel, mit der sie die Probleme und Vergnügungen der Nachkriegsjugend schilderte. Seither haben ihr sanfter Detektiv Albert Campion und seine muskelbepackten Mitarbeiter treue Leser jeder Altersstufe in aller Welt erobert. Sie hat sich auch einen Ruf als ernsthaftere Schriftstellerin geschaffen. In einer Kritik über The Fashion in Shrouds schrieb Torquemada im Observer, dass Albert Campion die Ehre zuteil geworden sei, der erste Detektiv zu sein, der in einem Roman agiere, den man durchaus anspruchsvoll nennen dürfe. Margery Allinghams Romane sind weitgespannt, und ihre Themen umfassen Ernstes und Satirisches, doch jeder hälts sich streng an die grundlegenden Regeln einer guten Detektivgeschichte. Margery Allingham war seit 1928 mit dem Künstler und Verleger Philip Youngman Carter verheiratet und lebte viele Jahre am Rande des Marschlandes von Essex.

Therersquo;s a reason itrsquo;s called ldquo;The Golden Agerdquo; of mysteryBy JZSI love Golden Age Mysteries. I own most if not all of the works of Sayers, Christie, Marsh, Heyer and Carr. Margery Allingham was never a favorite of mine primarily because in her early novels her hero, Albert Campion, seemed a pale imitation of Dorothy Sayersrsquo; Peter Wimsey. However, it is clear in this later book that, like Wimsey, Campion has matured and the character ldquo;ticsrdquo; that annoyed me are gone.For some reason, Irsquo;d gotten away from the Golden Age and lately have been reading Victorian and modern mysteries. But ldquo;Tigerrdquo; is one of the books on HRF Keatingrsquo;s list of 100 best mysteries that I hadnrsquo;t read so when a friend pointed out this kindle book for $2.99 I picked it up.

Most of what Irsquo;ve read over the past couple of years pales in comparison.First of all the ldquo;cozy mystery thrillerrdquo; label on this is completely misleading.

  • Newberry College – Studies in Crime Writing – Issue 1 – 2018 © Sigrid M
    Tradition and Subversion in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Sigrid M. King Carlow University, United States Abstract Swedish author Stieg Larsson’s best-selling novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo both pays homage to and subverts the crime fiction tradition. Larsson’s strategy enables him to expand his work’s focus beyond “whodunit” to the social justice issue of abuse of public trust by those in power. Larsson’s tactic of subversion is particularly pronounced in his depiction of the corrupt Vanger family, use of graphic violence, and rejection of the Golden Age detective character. These elements are examined in juxtaposition to the country house, locked-room, and puzzle/secret code mystery traditions. Despite the elements that pay homage to traditional crime fiction, Larsson’s novel clearly questions the certainties and assumptions embodied in mysteries of the Golden Age. * All art depends upon a constant, dynamic tension between convention and innovation. George Grella and John M. Reilly, “Conventions of the Genre” (88) Swedish author Stieg Larsson’s best-selling mystery The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo1 displays a fascinating tension between adherence to the traditions of crime fiction and subversion of those traditions. Larsson was an avid reader of crime fiction and self-consciously places his first novel’s plot within the genre through his adaptation of elements from the British Golden Age,2 particularly the locked-room mystery, the country house mystery, and the puzzle/secret code mystery. These subgenres historically focused on characters from privileged backgrounds and tended to reflect a conservative worldview. While Larsson pays homage to this tradition, he also subverts most of its assumptions through his critique of various power structures in Sweden, exposing corruption in the world of finance, ineptitude in the social safety net, and a dark underbelly of ultra-right-wing racism that reacts in a violent backlash against immigrants.

Book Condition: New. The headliner at the Argosy Theatre, Jimmy Sutane is London's favorite song- and-dance man, beloved by all. Or almost all: someone has taken to playing increasingly nasty and dangerous pranks. Albert Campion, that peculiar young man with the knack for solving problems, oers to poke around, but what he finds at chez Sutane nearly overwhelms him. The far from traditional household hosts a clutch of explosive egos, including a brooding musical "genius" and a melodramatic young actress who seems to delight in drawing others into her web of tragedy. Someone means to hang up Jimmy's tap shoes on a permanent basis, and Campion will need some pretty fancy footwork of his own. First appearing as a supporting character in 1929's The Crime at Black Dudley, and going on to take the lead in another 18 novels and as many more stories, the determinedly bland and aable Campion is in fact a man of action, an aristocrat who prefers a life of adventure, investigation, and helping those in need.
