	Dorothy L. Sayers
		Dorothy L. Sayers (and she always insisted on that "L.") is perhaps best known for her Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries, a series of novels and short stories featuring an English aristocrat who is an amateur sleuth.
		Sayers was born in Oxford, where her father Rev. Henry Sayers, M.A., was chaplain (and headmaster of the Choir School) of Christ Church College[?], and she was educated at Somerville College, Oxford, where she took a first-class degree in modern languages[?] -- one of the first women to receive a degree from that ancient institution.
		Sayers appears, with Agatha Christie, as a title character in Dorothy and Agatha [ISBN 0-451-40314-2], a fictional murder mystery by Gaylord Larsen, in which a man is murdered in her dining room, and Sayers has to solve the crime.

	Dorothy Sayers
		Dorothy Leigh Sayers was born on 13 June, 1893, in Oxford; her father, Henry Sayers, MA, was then chaplain to Christ Church College and headmaster of the Cathedral Choir School.
		Dorothy was their only daughter, and the family's move to the desolated Fenlands in 1897 deprived her of any playmates equal in age.
		Sayers was Fleming's second wife, and their shared professional interest in writing and crime (he was special correspondent for motor-sports and crime to the News of the World) might have provided sufficient common ground for the marriage to be happy.

	Dorothy Sayers - Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Culture
		Dorothy Sayers (1893-1957) was the daughter of an Anglican cleric.
		She was a defender of the Christian faith against the modern claim that people need to be liberated from the restrictions dogma and doctrine were thought to place on freedom.
		Sayers stressed the necessity of reason and adherence to doctrine and dogma -- rather than the her age's emphasis on sentimentality -- as the key to finding meaning in life -- the key to obtaining the freedom human beings desire.

	Dorothy L. Sayers
		Sayers' biographer Barbara Reynolds dates the remarkable thriller "The Leopard Lady" to the early Sayers period, circa 1928, and says that it was part of a planned series, with at least one other unpublished tale actually written about the same villains.
		Sayers' backgrounds tend to look at the life of the mind, such as religion, education, or commercial writing in newspapers or advertising, as well as the social institutions that support that mental life.
		Sayers collaborated with Meade's partner, Robert Eustace on The Documents in the Case (1930), and she is the sole source of the information that Meade was responsible for the writing and Eustace for the scientific ideas in Meade and Eustace's stories.

	Dorothy L. Sayers: A Christian Humanist for Today
		Sayers criticizes advertisers who tempt the gullible and invade areas that should be private, but she also censures consumers who, indifferent to blatantly offensive advertisements and shoddy, unnecessary products that flood the market, nevertheless continue to spend foolishly.
		Sayers does blame the church of the past several centuries for attempting to uphold a particular standard of ethical values which derive from Christian dogma while gradually dispensing with the very dogmas which are the sole rational foundation for these values.
		Sayers continued to write in the style in which she had begun, taking the liberties which she deemed necessary to make the plays dramatically effective.

		Sayers fans will relish the cooperative sleuthing of Peter, Harriet and the self-effacing Bunter as Walsh deftly captures and subtley updates the spirit of the series, endowing the iconic characters with additional depth and complexity.
		Dorothy Sayers is one of my all-time favorite authors and of course it would be impossible to write exactly like her.
		Since I've found that I value what Dorothy Sayers is conveying, I regret the new context in which I have to try not to view her own works.

		All Sayers's novels feature Wimsey, but 11 of her short stories star the dapper wine salesman Montague Egg, who is observant as a shrewd salesman should be, and sums up his deductions with banal quotations from the "Salesman's Handbook." He was introduced in the 1933 collection Hangman's Holiday.
		Sayers felt that these stories were not great literature, but they are engaging and entertaining on rereading.
		Sayers frequently lamented that "modern" writers of her time had decided that characterization got in the way of the plot, and she consciously aimed in her stories to bring the detective story back into the rich tradition of the 19th-century English novel.

	the Dorothy L. Sayers Archive - Introduction
		In turn pious, mischievous, clever and erudite, Sayers was part of a generation of mystery writers who excelled at depicting a time and place, in England and around the world, which was to change drastically in a few very short years.
		Sayers also created one of the most enduring (and occasionally belittled and caricatured) characters in English literature, the already-mentioned Peter Wimsey.
		On a personal score, Sayers is one of the few authors that I am inclined to re-read, despite the backlog of unread books piling up in odd corners around my home.

	Mystery Guide - Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		orothy L. Sayers was, her rabid fans to the contrary, never the greatest at plotting out puzzles (the plots in her novels tend to be sensationalistic, contrived, and over-clever, which is perhaps her most general fault as a writer).
		Dorothy Sayers, as a representative of her class (educated upper-middle), apparently had no time for anyone who wasn't either brilliantly intellectual, or filthy rich and aristocratic, or both.
		My overall delight in this book is spoiled by the fact that Sayers used it as a platform for completely gratuitous (the character's Jewishness makes no difference to the story) bigoted remarks which she obviously intends us to take as evidence of the aristocrats' sophistication and wit.

	Dorothy Sayers Presentation
		As a young person, Sayers struggled to come to terms with the faith in which she had been raised.
		Years later, when Sayers herself began to write about the Christian faith, her emphasis was more often than not on the necessity of helping others to correctly discern the specifics of Christian doctrine.
		Examining the role of the intellect in shaping and maintaining Sayers' own faith as well as the perceived absence of emotion in this same faith process is critical to a proper understanding of Sayers' view of Christian faith as a whole, and can offer helpful insights to our own theological understanding of faith.

	Dorothy L Sayers, Writer and Theologian
		Dorothy Leigh Sayers was an English writer and scholar, born at Oxford in 1893, the only child of an Anglican clergyman.
		In this seminal work, Sayers discusses the psychology of the creative mind at work in producing a novel or sculpture or other work, as an aid to understanding the theological doctrine of the Trinity, and the latter as an aid to understanding the former.
		Dorothy L Sayers died 17 December 1957 (Encyclopedia Americana) or perhaps the next day (Who Was Who), leaving her translation of the Comedy unfinished.

		I have to admit that I was hoping Walsh would get better at doing Sayers, and instead she seems to have strayed further from her writing than in the previous attempt (which I enjoyed very much).
		Sayers made it clear that she was, in many ways, quite sick of Lord Peter and wanted him to "grow up," though those are not the words she used to describe the process.
		Still, given Sayers' own short story, "Tallboys," all her choices are well within the bounds of probability.

		What I Thought of It: For all the fun Sayers pokes at Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, this collection makes it clear that she was still influenced by the Great Detective's adventures, as many stories herein turn on clever little tricks of timing or ingenious gimmicks to pull off a caper.
		The Documents in the Case is a novel by Sayers and Robert Eustace, unrelated to the Wimsey stories.
		Sayers was also noted for her translation of Dante's The Divine Comedy, and wrote a miscellany of other non-fiction works.

		Author Dorothy Sayers creates vivid characters--the somewhat arrogant Lord Peter Wimsey, his faithful manservant Bunter, the "forgetful" rector of the local church and his wife, the French wife and children of one of the thieves, assorted odd characters from the town, and local law enforcement.
		Sayers takes the customary English village, and makes something new of it, by setting it in the Fen country, and by giving to it a church, which, as the well-drawn rector describes, "East Anglia is famous for the size and splendour of its parish churches.
		Probably Dorothy Sayers' best novel, considered by many to be one of the top 2-3 mystery works of all time.

	Dorothy Sayers
		In an age of skepticism, cynicism, and false "freedoms," Dorothy Sayers (1893-1957) was a passionate and occasionally scathing voice of reason.
		Like her friends C.S. Lewis, T.S. Eliot, and Charles Williams, Sayers was a brilliant Christian thinker, an Anglo-Catholic who took doctrine seriously and bristled at the growth of "fads, schisms, heresies, and anti-Christ" within the Church of England.
		Jesus claimed that he is "the way, the truth and the life" and the Church has spent twenty centuries explaining and defending that fact, often in the form of authoritative and definite dogmas.

	Dorothy Sayers
		She published a long and popular series of detective novels, translated the "Divine Comedy," wrote a series of radio plays, and a defense of Christian belief.
		She proposes that we adopt a suitably modified version of the medieval scholastic curriculum for methodological reasons.
		For the sole true end of education is simply this: to teach men how to learn for themselves; and whatever instruction fails to do this is effort spent in vain.
