The experience of total war, which moved women into the munitions factories, and domestic servants into the army, caused serious questioning of the established social order. The assumed codes of deference and conduct never quite recovered. Country estates were shut up or sold, and the rural economy was destabilised by wage increases after the labourers returned from the front, or didn’t. Crime fiction, however, was busy denying that anything had changed, keeping the experience of death safely within rational and domestic confines where it could be explained away.]]> http://calitreview.com/243/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/230 http://calitreview.com/230#comments Tue, 26 Jun 2007 16:35:53 +0000 Jem Bloomfeld http://calitreview.com/2007/06/26/book-of-hours/ http://calitreview.com/230/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/190 http://calitreview.com/190#comments Sat, 26 May 2007 20:30:55 +0000 Jem Bloomfeld http://calitreview.com//2007/05/26/the-key-to-the-case/ http://calitreview.com/190/feed 5 http://calitreview.com/134 http://calitreview.com/134#comments Sun, 22 Apr 2007 07:58:42 +0000 Sam Stowe http://calitreview.com//fiction-reviews/the-italian-secretary-a-further-adventure-of-sherlock-holmes-by-caleb-carr/ http://calitreview.com/134/feed 3 http://calitreview.com/93 http://calitreview.com/93#comments Tue, 10 Apr 2007 07:29:36 +0000 Sam Stowe http://calitreview.com//fiction-reviews/alibi-by-joseph-kanon/ http://calitreview.com/93/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/82 http://calitreview.com/82#comments Tue, 03 Apr 2007 20:30:59 +0000 Deborah Straw http://calitreview.com//interviews/mystery-writer-vicki-stiefel/ http://calitreview.com/82/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/68 http://calitreview.com/68#comments Tue, 03 Apr 2007 18:48:40 +0000 Deborah Straw http://calitreview.com//interviews/architecture/an-interview-with-nancy-means-wright/ http://calitreview.com/68/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/64 http://calitreview.com/64#comments Sat, 31 Mar 2007 19:19:33 +0000 Uma Girish http://calitreview.com//interviews/bush-tea-with-alexander-mccall-smith/ http://calitreview.com/64/feed 20
