- Marple vs Poirot: Battle of the Christie Detectives (Rocklin)
-
Instructor: Ann Bliss
Dates: 10/14/2026 - 11/4/2026
Days: W
Times: 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Sessions: 4
Fee: $35.00

Seats Available: 25 | Max Enroll: 25
SKU: FalCLIT441
Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple are Agatha Christie’s best-known detectives. In this class we will look at two novels featuring these sleuths: "Death on the Nile" and "The Body in the Library". While the two novels seem very different—Miss Marple and Poirot have little in common and the settings of the novels couldn’t be much further apart—we will think about the ways in which both books resonate with each other. For example, in what ways do the respective settings function as characters? What is the role of the detective (beyond simply solving the central puzzle)? How do the novels comment on or reflect social and cultural conventions?
*Class Dates: 10/14, 10/21, 10/28, 11/4
