Deherbalization Writing in Agatha Chrisitie's Crime Fictions
From the 1930s to 1940s,there was a short period of"herbal revival"and debate on the safety of herbal medicine.By analyzing the poisoning cases in Agatha Christie s crime fictions in this context,it can be found that gender stereotyping is highlighted to question the female authority and contributions in the field of herbal medicine,thus achieving the"defeminization"of herbal medicine.Christie s novels applause the ban on the herbal medicine in the 1930s drug legislation by otherizing the herbal medicine with the features like being"oriental","poisonous"and"uncivilized",thus ulti-mately achieving the goal of"deherbalization"in writing.
