Bishops in the Detective Fiction of Monsignor Ronald Knox and of his Sister, Winifred Peck

The writings, both religious and literary, of Monsignor Ronald Knox (1888-1957) are well-known and continue to inspire and amuse readers to this day; those of his closest sibling, Winifred (1882-1962), much less so.

Les écrits, aussi bien religieux que littéraires, de Mgr Ronald Knox (1888-1957) sont bien connus, et continuent d’inspirer et de divertir les lecteurs, mais tel n’est pas le cas, tant s’en faut, de sa sœur très proche, Winifred (1882-1962). Le frère et la sœur ont tous deux écrits des romans policiers reflétant leurs valeurs chrétiennes et leurs décors font souvent écho à leur expérience personnelle des gens et des lieux. Petits-enfants d’un évêque, enfants d’un autre et en connaissant bien d’autres, le catholique romain Ronald et, plus tard, l’anglicane Winifred, ont tous deux créé des évêques fictionnels dans un de leurs romans policiers en y explorant une part de leur vision du ministère d’un évêque, et de la manière dont celle-ci se traduit dans la vie et le ministère de l’Église. En tout cas, l’évêque de Winifred apparaît comme un pendant plus réaliste du portrait idéalisé de celui de son frère, comme un rappel de leurs souvenirs d’enfance, et comme un éloge du mariage des clercs.
