To celebrate Dorothy L. Sayers’s birthday, which was on June 13, we invite you to explore our Special Collection: The Works of Dorothy Leigh Sayers. Sayers (1893-1957) was a renowned English crime writer, poet, playwright, essayist, translator and Christian humanist. She is best known for her mystery novels, especially those featuring the popular amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey. However, she has also published essays, plays and translated works.
Sayers studied modern languages and medieval literature at Somerville College, Oxford and finished with first-class honours in 1915 but did not receive her degree until 1920, when Oxford finally began formally conferring degrees to women. She fictionalized some of her experiences at Oxford in the novel Gaudy Night featuring Lord Wimsey’s companion Harriet Vane.
We encourage you to explore all our Special Collections here at Faded Page. If you would like to help us add more public domain books such as these, consider volunteering to proofread a few pages. For information, go to Distributed Proofreaders Canada.
