Rowland presents a detailed exploration of how the archetypes of
ancient goddesses Hestia, Artemis, Athena and Aphrodite breathe
into and shape female-authored detective fiction. Representing
aspects of characterisation not bound by gender, the book examines
how these archetypes emerge in themes like the home and hearth,
hunting, survival and desire. Rowland assesses numerous examples
from a range of works, providing a clear illustration of each
archetype and illuminating aspects of femininity, psyche and being.
This uniquely interdisciplinary work of literary analysis sheds
light on the popularity and underlying mystique of the genre.
