Ruth Rendell and Barbara Vine – Family Matters Fiona Peters Bath Spa University, UK [email protected] This article traces themes and preoccupations that work across Ruth Rendell’s work, writing both as Rendell and also as Barbara Vine. It investigates the ways in which the use of a pseudonym allows her to delve deeper into areas that she also explores as Rendell – the dysfunctional family and heredity, both in relation to physical disease and the fruitless search for origins, the latter discussed by her through the lens of Freudian psychoanalysis. Ruth Rendell was one of the most prolific British crime fiction writers of the twentieth century, continuing to produce work right up until her death in May 2015, her final posthumous novel Dark Corners being published in October of that year.

    1 This is a peer-reviewed manuscript version. The final version is published in Contemporary Women’s Writing with the following citation: Schnabel, Jennifer. "Realistic Man, Fantasy Policeman: The Longevity of Ruth Rendell’s Reginald Wexford." Contemporary Women's Writing 11.1 (2017): 102-120. https://doi.org/10.1093/cww/vpw044 Realistic Man, Fantasy Policeman: The Longevity of Ruth Rendell’s Reginald Wexford Ruth Rendell first introduced Chief Inspector Reginald Wexford in From Doon with Death in 1964; we last see him 49 years later in No Man’s Nightingale. Rendell develops the protagonist in her detective series, which includes 24 novels and five short stories, by adapting the conventions and tropes of the detective and police procedural genres set forth by her predecessors like Georges Simenon, Dorothy Sayers, and Ed McBain. However, while her detectives operate within the framework of the fictional Kingsmarkham police department, Rendell did not stifle Wexford with mundane bureaucratic constraints. Instead, she focused on presenting a realistic man with idiosyncrasies, shortcomings, and fears, as well as a character who adapts to the changing social and cultural environment alongside the reading public. Rendell has called Wexford “a fantasy policeman in a fantasy world,” using investigative methods which do not always adhere to standard police procedures (Salwak 87). As a result, forensic details are also largely missing from her narratives, such as in-depth descriptions of autopsies, lab processes, and coroner reports found in other contemporary crime novels and popular television programs. She said, “The wonder is that thousands of readers (including policemen!) seem to like it this way” (87).
