商品描述
This study argues that allusion is a central part of classic British detective fiction. It demonstrates the fraught status of Shakespeare and the Bible during the Golden Age of the British detective novel, and the cultural currents which novelists navigated whilst alluding to them. The first part traces the complex web of allusions to Shakespeare and the Bible which appear in the novels of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sayers, examining the meanings these allusions produce. The second part explores the way in which Sayers' own collection of detective novels became a canon, on which later novelists exercised those same allusive practices. It studies allusions to Sayers' novels throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, from Gladys Mitchell and P.D. James to Reginald Hill and Sujata Massey. This study reveals allusion as a shaping force at the origin of the classic British detective novel, and a continuing element in its identity.

本研究主張，典故是經典英國偵探小說的核心部分。它展示了在英國偵探小說的黃金時代，莎士比亞和聖經的微妙地位，以及小說家在提及這些作品時所面對的文化潮流。第一部分追溯了阿嘉莎·克里斯蒂（Agatha Christie）和多蘿西·L·塞耶斯（Dorothy L. Sayers）小說中出現的複雜典故網絡，並檢視這些典故所產生的意義。第二部分探討了塞耶斯自己的偵探小說集如何成為經典，並且後來的小說家如何運用相同的典故手法。它研究了二十世紀及二十一世紀初對塞耶斯小說的典故引用，從格拉迪斯·米切爾（Gladys Mitchell）和P.D. 詹姆斯（P.D. James）到雷金納德·希爾（Reginald Hill）和蘇賈塔·馬西（Sujata Massey）。本研究揭示了典故作為經典英國偵探小說起源的塑造力量，以及其身份中的持續元素。
