Agatha Christie and the Fantastic Detective Story

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticleScientificpeer-review

    Abstract

    This paper problematizes the restricting categorization of Agatha Christie’s novel
    And Then There Were None, by focusing on the critique by Tzvetan Todorov in his
    study on the literary fantastic. It argues that her work overthrows the dichotomy
    between the natural and the supernatural, and creates a fantastic detective novel.
