Product Description
Synopsis
This second volume of letters covers the seven years in which the already famous detective novelist became a playwright and a somewhat controversial figure. She was considered by many to be one of the foremost lay theologians of her day but she was accussed by others of blasphemy and her letters reveal a vast network of correspondence, dealing with a wide range of social concerns. The letters also reveal the context of her published works - which at this time reached a peak with seventeen plays, several books and innumerable articles and talks - and this volume also contains newly acquired information concerning the birth of her son, the subject and recipient of many of the letters contained in the first volume.
About the Author
An Italian scholar and translator, Barbara Reynolds completed the translation of Dante's Divine Comedy which Dorothy L. Sayers left unfinished when she died. Dr Reynolds has told the story of this collaboration in The Passionate Intellect: Dorothy L. Sayers' Encounter with Dante. She has also translated Dante's La Vita Nuova and Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, and was the general editor of The Cambridge Italian Dictionary. More recently, Dr Reynolds founded the journal Seven, to which she has contributed articles on Dorothy L. Sayers. She is the President of the Dorothy L. Sayers Society, and has frequently lectured at the society's conferences. She is currently working on an edition of the Sayers letters, of which the first three volumes have now appeared.
