Few writers in the twentieth century were as creative and
productive as Dorothy L. Sayers, the English playwright, novelist,
and poet. Her justly renowned works include detective fiction
featuring Lord Peter Wimsey, theological reflections, literary
criticism, and her translation of Dante's Divine Comedy. Among the
prominent themes of her work was the need for and challenges of
developing community. Sayers, who was herself an active member of
various writing groups throughout her lifetime, offers her readers
visions of both fractured and harmonious communities. In this
Hansen Lectureship volume, Christine Colon explores the role of
community in Sayers's works. In particular, she considers how
Sayers offers a vision of communities called to action, faith, and
joy, and she reflects on how we also are called to live in
community together. Based on the annual lecture series hosted at
Wheaton College's Marion E. Wade Center, volumes in the Hansen
Lectureship Series reflect on the imaginative work and lasting
influence of seven British authors: Owen Barfield, G. K.
Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, George MacDonald, Dorothy L. Sayers, J. R.
R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams.
