Dorothy L. Sayers was one of the "Queens of Crime." Alongside
writers like Agatha Christie, she perfected the whodunnit, but also
used the genre to explore social, ethical, and emotional matters.
Her characters, particularly Lord Peter Wimsey and his
investigative partner Harriet Vane, struggle with the complexities
of life and love in a rapidly changing world while solving some of
the most intricate and complex mysteries ever offered to the
reading public. Sayers was also an important theoretician of
detective fiction, a religious dramatist, a public intellectual,
and one of the 20th century's most important translators of Dante.
While focusing on her mystery fiction, this companion offers a full
view of all aspects of Sayers's career. It is an ideal introduction
for readers new to Sayers's diverse and rewarding body of work, and
an invaluable companion for her many fans.
