In doing so, it uncovers an overlooked dynamic in which female poisoners deliver well-deserved comeuppance for gendered and classed wrongdoing ordinarily accepted in everyday life. While critics have long recognized male outlaws, like Robin Hood, who use crime to oppose a corrupt system, this book contends that female outlaws witches and poisoners offer a similar heritage of empowered femininity. Far from cozy and formulaic, Agatha Christies outlaw poisoners offer readers the surprising pleasures of comeuppance, and they set the stage for contemporary detective fiction writers, more recent films depicting poisoning as empowering, and even poison gardens, which are tourist destinations that offer visitors the guilty pleasure of poison. 001451185 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001451185 60010 $$aChristie, Agatha,$$d1890-1976$$xCriticism and interpretation. 001451185 650_0 $$aPoisoners in literature. 001451185 655_7 $$aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411635 001451185 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001451185 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPamboukian, Sylvia A.$$tAgatha Christie and the guilty pleasure of poison.$$dBasingstoke : Palgrave Macmillan, 2022$$z9783031159992$$w(OCoLC)1346938620 001451185 830_0 $$aCrime files series. 001451185 852__ $$bebk 001451185 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-16000-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001451185 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1451185$$pGLOBAL_SET 001451185 980__ $$aBIB 001451185 980__ $$aEBOOK 001451185 982__ $$aEbook 001451185 983__ $$aOnline 001451185 994__ $$a92$$bISE
