  • Beyond the Scene of the Crime
    Beyond the Scene of the Crime: Investigating Place in Golden Age Detective Fiction Brittain Bright Goldsmiths, University of London English and Comparative Literature PhD Submission I hereby declare that this thesis is my own work and that it has not been submitted anywhere for any award. Where external sources of information have been used, they have been acknowledged. Brittain Bright 2 Acknowledgements Writing is a solitary endeavor, but it is impossible to do it alone. I am deeply grateful to Dr. Caroline Blinder for her belief in the value of my work and for teaching me to ask (and answer) complex questions; however, I appreciate at least as much her willingness to read, and maintain enthusiasm about, a daunting pile of detective novels! I would also like to thank Jessie, for her practical and insightful comments, and David, for his support and encouragement throughout the seemingly endless writing process. Finally, and most of all, I thank my parents for their constant patience with my educational meanderings, and for their belief in me. 3 Abstract Place is both physical and conceptual; in fiction, place offers an initial basic orientation, but also fulfills many more complex roles. This thesis considers place in the Golden Age detective novels of Agatha Christie, Gladys Mitchell, and Dorothy L. Sayers to establish place as a point of critical engagement, and uses place to re-consider influential works in the genre. The exploration of place uncovers textual clues that are not necessarily detective clues, complicating these novels and dismantling deceptive assumptions about the homogeneity of the Golden Age.

I'm Sharon Hsu-- CHARIS: --and I'm Charis Ellison. We're two friends who are sleuthing our way through the Lord Peter Wimsey mystery novels by Dorothy L. Sayers. SHARON: Between us we have two and a half English degrees, but our best credentials are that we're huge fans who have read the Lord Peter Wimsey books dozens of times each. So Charis, we're gonna be talking today about why we're doing this podcast. Do you want to tell the good people how you first encountered the Wimsey novels? CHARIS: I would love to! Falling in love with the Wimsey novels for me was a lot, kind of like the way Harriet Vane falls in love with Peter Wimsey, which is that it happened very slowly and then all at once. SHARON: [laughing] And you resisted for a long time? CHARIS: I resisted for so long! Well, I mean not really, I just didn't think about it for a long time. You and I were both members of an internet forum called Readerville as teenagers, and some of the adults that we interacted with there were big fans of Dorothy Sayers, so I had heard the name, I was familiar with the books in a general, vague way, and the first one that I actually read was I think GAUDY NIGHT? Which is coming to things a little bit backwards.
