Who is the latest author to have their published works revised to remove potentially offensive text? Answered
The options that are given for this Bing homepage quiz are listed below:
A: Agatha Christie
B: Jane Austen
C: C.S. Lewis
The correct answer is Agatha Christie.
See The Reason for That answer below:
Agatha Christie is the latest author to have her works revised by sensitivity readers, according to a report from the Telegraph. Passages that reference physical appearance, race, or ethnicity have been altered to align with modern sensibilities. HarperCollins, the publisher of Christie’s novels, is said to employ sensitivity readers, and the scale of alterations appears significant. Other authors who have undergone similar revisions include Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming, and R.L. Stine.
Critics have cited concerns about authorial intent and the author’s voice, particularly given that these changes are made after the author’s death. In Dahl’s case, Puffin Books revised his children’s books, but the publisher relented somewhat after backlash and allowed the original editions to be sold alongside the revised ones.
