    WIELAND SCHWANEBECK (DRESDEN) "You're not the usual kind of Private Eye": The Deconstruction of the Whedunit in PJ). J ames's Cordelia Gray Mysteries Even though female authers and, te seme degree, female protagonists have been inte- gral to the development of detective fiction, critics and genre encyclopaedias fre— quently continue to betray their misogynistic bias towards these women, much as they may pride themselves on the amount ef spaee they dedicate to the "Queens of Crime" and their considerable output. The title ef the "first British detective" story, for in— stance, is often attributed to Wilkie Collins's The Women in White (1859), Charles Felin's The Notting Hill Mystery (1865), or Charles Diekens's The Mystery ef Edwin Dread (1870), yet other books tend to get written out of history. This largely concerns works by female authors (like Mary Elizabeth Braddon's The Trail ef the Serpent of 1860, which precedes some of the aforementioned titles by several years) as well as narratives featuring female detectives. In Wilkie Collins's The Diary afAnne Radway (1856), the eponymous heroine and homodiegetic narrator, a poor working-class girl, attempts to solve the murder of her roommate, in spite of being ridiculed and threat— ened by policemen and sinister landlords. Self-reliant and perceptive as Anne is, in a world dominated by men who held public office and who control the means of produc- tion, she cannot help but withdraw to the secluded space of her lodgings, longing for the return of her fiance: "0, what a relief and help it would be now if Robert should come back!" (Collins 1856, 33).

JAMES PROVOKES THEOLOGICAL THOUGHT A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF DIVINITY INSTITUTE FOR THEOLOGY, IMAGINATION, AND THE ARTS IN CANDIDANCY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY BY JO ANN SHARKEY ST. ANDREWS, SCOTLAND 15 APRIL 2010 Copyright © 2010 by Jo Ann Sharkey All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT The following dissertation argues that the detective fiction of P.D. James provokes her readers to think theologically. I present evidence from the body of James’s work, including her detective fiction that features the Detective Adam Dalgliesh, as well as her other novels, autobiography, and non-fiction work. I also present a brief history of detective fiction. This history provides the reader with a better understanding of how P.D James is influenced by the detective genre as well as how she stands apart from the genre’s traditions. This dissertation relies on an interview that I conducted with P.D. James in November, 2008. During the interview, I asked James how Christianity has influenced her detective fiction and her responses greatly contribute to this dissertation.

The Dupayne, a small private museum in London devoted to the interwar years --is in turmoil. As its trustees argue over whether it should be closed, one of them is brutally and mysteriously murdered. Yet even as Commander Dalgliesh and his team proceed with their investigation, a second corpse is discovered. Someone in the Dupayne is prepared to kill and kill again. Still more sinister, the murders appear to echo the notorious crimes of the past featured in one of the museum's galleries: the Murder Room. The case is fraught with danger and complications from the outset, but for Dalgliesh the complications are unexpectedly profound.
