Summary of Maker and Craftsman: The Story of Dorothy L. Sayers
Revised for the 1993 centennial celebration of the birth of Dorothy L. Sayers, this biography describes a life profuse with literary products as rich and varied as her past. Maker and Craftsman examines Sayers' enthusiasms and creativity, her miraculous gift of language, her sly sense of humor and her brilliant intellect.Best known for the Lord Peter Wimsey detective stories that have charmed and fascinated fans for several generations, she also wrote plays for the B.B.C. and London's West End, translated Dante's Divine Comedy and still found time to speak and write forthrightly in defense of her beliefs, the arts, and women's rights." Dale has chosen a subject who is a woman of her place and time, and yet far exceeding both she writes with scholarship, and a vigour and expansive enthusiasm, a gale of life not unlike Dorothy's own."-Anne Perry, British Mystery AuthorAuthors Books
