- Lars Wendelius, ”Mind you, I still believe in democracy”. Samhälle och politik i Agatha Christies kriminalromaner. (Society and Politics in Agatha Christie’s Crime Novels.) A deep distrust of man and a longing for order and stability characterize Christie’s novels. The social system is threatened by man’s desire to transgress given boundaries, above all by his utopian and idealistic dreams of a brave new world nourished by his lust for power. The opponents of these tendencies represent pragmatism, common sense, experience and traditions — virtues personified by characters like Jane Marple and Hercule Poirot. Christie’s books are characterized by, on the one hand, a tendency to idealize the old (Victorian and Edwardian) world and to represent the modern world as rootless and hollow, and, on the other hand, a tendency to represent the modern world as full of possibilities of self-realization for common man.
