		In Gaudy Night, Harriet takes center stage in the story when she reluctantly attends a reunion at her Oxford College, and is asked to unravel the mystery of a series of nasty practical jokes and poison pen letters that threaten the piece of the college life.
		And in Gaudy Night we also can see exactly how skillfully Sayers worked out the progression of the Wimsey/Vane relationship in advance: the setting of the women’s college and the startling confrontation scene at the end serves as a catalyst for the final resolution of their two sleuth’s relationship.
		Gaudy Night suffers the most in terms of flesh tones, because the interiors at Oxford, as well as the costuming, were done purposely in various shades of brown, almost devoid of any other colors, to reflect the drabness of the characters’ existence: the preponderance of brown does make the flesh tones look slightly washed out.

		The third, Gaudy Night (or 'Gaudy Lite' as I have seen it referred to) skimps a bit in comparison to the novel.
		Harriet, motivated by her memories of Oxford as an escape from worldly concerns (such as her involvement in two murders and persistent proposals from Lord Peter), attends a student reunion or gaudy night.
		In the course of this she allows herself to be drawn into the mystery of a poison pen writer who has crossed too far into the realms of bad taste and threats.

		By choosing to discuss intellectual values in the context of an all-female community she was staking a claim for women’s place as equals in the intellectual life.
		Dr Baring dismisses this as ‘Miss Hillyard’s hobby horse’ (Gaudy Night, p 61) but Miss Hillyard’s remarks are borne out by the text and by the experience of women at Oxford at this time, when the overwhelming majority of senior positions within the University were held by men.
		It is interesting to note that Gaudy Night most certainly was read by women in all-female, celibate communities: my rather battered second-hand copy of the novel came originally from the Sisters’ Library of a convent.

		I first read GAUDY NIGHT in 8th grade, and missed a lot of things...I felt much smarter when I read it again towards the end of high school, and when I read it while attending a women's college, my deep love for the book solidified.
		I think Gaudy Night moves Harriet from being a sole woman trying to work out how to live with integrity in a man's world and puts her in a community of women trying to do the same thing, showing her various options and outcomes.

		The existence of Marxist criticism prevails as a form of critique that interrogates all societies and their texts, in terms of issues such as race, class, and the attitudes shared within a given culture.

		Miss de Vine said she thought there was too much of it on both sides (in Busman's Honeymoon as well as Gaudy Night), but the Dean said she knew couples who were stupid as owls and thought all the time, so it probably didn't matter either way.
		Gaudy Night is very often described as a murder mystery without a murder (perhaps not by you), since the on-stage crimes are harassment and vandalism at Shrewsbury that never escalate to anyone being directly killed.

		'Gaudy Night,' Dorothy Sayers' penultimate novel in the Lord Peter Wimsey series, was originally intended to be the last.
		'Gaudy Night' is a tour de force, coupling some of Sayer's finest writing with ideas that were novel and controversial when the book made it's first appearance.
		Whether this novel or 'The Nine Tailors' is the better novel will be argued forever, but there is no question that 'Gaudy Night' is one of the best from a mystery writer who stands at the head of her class.

		The portrayal of Sir Peter Wimsey in Gaudy Night is that of a highly academic fellow who is able to converse easily with other academics, but this portrayal lacks a firm demonstration of Wimsey's masculinity (Sayers 274).
		Self reflection performed by Wimsey in Gaudy Night is existent but not with the extra clarity or differing point of view presented by Harriet in her recollection of Wimsey's daring rescue of her during her trial for the murder of her former lover.
		These abilities were presented in the stunning fashion as shown in Gaudy Night of a man able in a short amount of time to accomplish solving a crime that eluded Harriet.

	Planet Peschel's Annotation of "Gaudy Night" by Dorothy L. Sayers
		Excerpts from "Gaudy Night " are copyright 1936 by Dorothy Leigh Sayers Fleming, and renewed 1964 by Anthony Fleming.
		As "gaudy" is not used in the United States as a noun, it should be noted that the old word (from 1582) means ostentatiously or tastelessly ornamented, or, as in the phrase "giving gaudy praise," extravagant.
		So a gaudy night gives the impression of a party in which everyone dresses up, where taste and restraint are thrown out the window.
