Abstract:

After establishing Dorothy L. Sayers’s interest in medieval culture, this essay narrows its focus to Gothic architecture, arguing that Sayers’s fascination with medieval churches helped transform her view of the Church Universal. While a student at Oxford, Sayers echoed the modernist sensibilities of her time, valuing medieval architecture for the way it revealed the “sweetness and light” of culture. After two decades and several detective novels, Sayers began to see medieval architecture differently. Her novel The Nine Tailors provided a key to unlock her vision, and her play The Zeal of Thy

Abstract:

In May 1944, Dorothy L. Sayers exchanged letters and had a phone conversation with William Lyon Mackenzie King, the prime minister of Canada. Sayers's letter made such an impression on King that he saw mystical and prophetic significance in its arrival and used it in a speech he gave in the Canadian House of Commons. This study uses the digitised archives of King's diaries and the parliamentary records of his speech, as well as Canadian media accounts from the time. It will be shown that Sayers played an underappreciated role in helping the Canadian prime minister rally his country during the

Abstract:

Dorothy L. Sayers’s interactions with Tennyson’s poetry provide a powerful example of her theology of charitable reading. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Sayers refused to oversimplify Tennyson’s works. She defended him from his critics and used some of his ideas to inform Gaudy Night, crafting an insightful critique of The Princess that acknowledges the poem’s problems but also emphasizes its underlying truths. Sayers never completely articulated her theology of charitable reading, but with her approach to Tennyson, she enacts the theology that is implicit in her reflections on the artist

Abstract:

A consideration of Dorothy L. Sayers's work as an anthologist of short detective fiction during the late 1920s and early 1930s shows how, though hemmed in by considerations of cost and copyright, Sayers used the compiling of anthologies both as a means of promoting her ideas about the detective form and to foster connections with fellow practitioners. An analysis of Sayers's five anthologies shows her favouring particular authors and stories, even while accommodating different audiences and venues of publication. She thus constructed a canon of short detective fiction, one that continues to ex

Abstract:

This paper outlines the evolution in Sayers’ use of Shakespeare — from merely playing with quotes to deeper and more sophisticated relations. Sayers frequently uses quotations as mottos or titles, she also intertwines them to her heroes’ utterances, mainly to achieve comical effect. Tossing quotes around in this manner may seem rather shallow when compared to other ‘golden age’ authors, such as for example Josephine Tey (Daughter of Time) or Agatha Christie (Taken at the Flood). Shakespearean quotes in Sayers’ crime stories are mainly ornamental and rarely have an important function in the plo

Abstract:

Dorothy Sayers' Gaudy Night, published in 1936, explores still-topical questions about the relation of epistemological and ethical values, and about the place of women in the life of the mind. In her wry reflections on the radical differences between today's feminist philosophy and Sayers' no-nonsense observation that “women are more like men than anything else on earth,” Susan Haack draws both on this detective story and on Sayers' wonderfully brisk essay, ‘Are Women Human?’

Abstract:

How do history and literature create a sense of ethnic or imperial community? And how do social and legal normative and disruptive narratives contribute to drawing the boundaries of such communities? To provide some answers, this issue brings together three articles on “Historicizing Fiction” and two on “Early Safavids and Ottomans.” In the first section, David Selim Sayers's article, “Sociosexual Roles in Ottoman Pulp Fiction,” analyzes “premodern sociosexual roles” in the Ottoman Empire through the Tıfli stories, a form of lowbrow literature that narrates the everyday lives of their protagon
