Death on the Nile: a meditation on celebrity and a riposte to Christie’s critics

School of Area Studies, Sociology, History, Politics and Literature

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

Kenneth Brannagh’s adaptation of Death on the Nile reminds us that Agatha Christie’s work is not solely concerned with English villages. Christie also drew on her travels in the Middle East with her husband, the archaeologist Max Mallowan. Although most of her experience was in Iraq and Syria, Christie was particularly fascinated by Egypt.
