About
Dust off the pages of Agatha Christie’s Golden Age novels to uncover quips and references that have faded over the last one hundred years. Kate Gingold called on an amazing range of experts to throw light on obscure phrases from the 1920s novels for her glossary, Agatha Annotated, and will be sharing this insider knowledge which has made reading Christie even more fun!
Parodies and pop culture phrases that were familiar to readers in the 1920s are now lost to time, confusing today’s readers who often skip over them to get to “whodunit”. With the benefit of modern technology, Kate deciphered these cryptic references and built a comprehensive database of the results. You’ll hear some fascinating anecdotes from her research.
Readers will enjoy an even greater appreciation of Christie’s early novels – and sense of humour – with this deep dive into the language and context of the 1920s.
