Abstract
Aside from cleverly crafted murder mysteries, Christie’s novels – The Murder at the Vicarage and The Mysterious Affair at Styles – offer an insight into the by First-World-War affected society of interwar Britain. Despite being set in one of the most tempestuous periods in human history, the literature of that time avoids addressing the problems arising between the two world wars directly. Instead, it offers a short escape from the everyday turmoil by placing the reader in a comfort of domestic sphere run by feminine yet marginal detectives, Poirot and Miss Marple. To the careful eye it also unravels the ways in which the First World War changed the lives of Britain’s society. Out of all changes, those in the domain of gender and class distinguish themselves as the most important ones and are, for that reason, discussed within the scope of this thesis. While for women these changes brought a liberation from their prescribed role, for the lower classes they meant the equalization of their social position with the upper and middle classes. Considering how easily the effects of the First World War snuck up on the unsuspecting society, it is no wonder that the interwar Britain succumbed so easily under its influence.
