Who Would Have Thought That F. Scott Fitzgerald and Agatha Christie Had So Much in Common?
This volume offers a comparative study of the fiction of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Agatha Christie, two authors who have not been examined together so far despite obvious thematic affinities. Challenging the traditional division between highbrow and popular literature, it demonstrates that both writers explore similar social and cultural concerns through different narrative conventions. Drawing on a representative corpus of novels and short stories, the book examines four recurring themes: marriage, the upper classes, immigration, and the experience of military veterans. By identifying unexpected parallels and significant differences, it provides a fresh perspective on two literary classics and shows how their works reflect the complexities of the early twentieth century.
Lucyna Harmon is full professor at the University of Rzeszów, Poland. Her research includes literary translation as well as literary and adaptation studies.
