After Dorothy L. Sayers became famous for her fictional sleuth,
Lord Peter Wimsey, she began investigating the mysteries of
Anglo-Catholic Christianity, writing plays for both stage and
radio. However, because her modernist contemporaries disdained both
best-sellers and religious fiction, Sayers has been largely
overlooked by the academy. Writing Performances is the first work
to position Sayers' diverse writings within the critical climate of
high modernism. Employing exuberant illustrations from Sayers'
detective fiction to make theoretical issues accessible, the book
employs insights from performance theory to argue that Sayers,
though a popularizer, presciently anticipated the postmodern
ironizing of Enlightenment rationality and scientific objectivity.
