Career

OP is a member of the Sayers' first book of poetry. I am a student at the University of Oxford. In 1918, Blackwell's second book of poetry, "Catholic Tales and Christian Songs," was published. Sayers later served at Blackwell's and then as a tutor in several countries, including Normandy, France. In addition, she had published a number of poems in the Oxford magazine. Sayers contributed two poems, one of which was a love poem named Veronica, to the first and only issue of The Quorum, the UK's first homosexual newspaper.

She worked for publisher Victor Gollancz in the early 1920s. A. M. Burrage, a writer who knew her husband and with whom she corresponded on friendly terms, was one of the writer she worked with.

Sayers' longest service as a copywriter at S.H. went back from 1922 to 1931. Benson's media company, located in Kingsway, London, is located at International Buildings. Albert Henry Ross (1881-1950), who is best known for his literary pseudonym Frank Morison, was a colleague of hers at the agency. Who Moved the Stone, He wrote the best-selling Christian apologetics book Who Moved the Stone? The study, which looked at the historicality of Jesus' trial, crucifixion, and resurrection of the saint. In her play The Man Born to Be King, the actors later relied on his book to write the trial scene of Jesus.

Sayers' relationship with artist John Gilroy culminated in the production of "The Mustard Club" for Colman's Mustard and the Guinness "Zoo" advertisements, some of which appear today. With Sayers' jingle, one example was the Toucan, his bill arching under a glass of Guinness.

According to the narrator, "It pays to advertise" is the word that is coined. Murder Must Advertise was based in the ad industry, where she emphasizes the importance of truth in advertising: she used the advertising industry.

Sayers started working out the plot of her first book in 1920–21.

The seeds of the plot for Whose Body?

Sayers wrote a letter on January 22, 1921: can be seen in a letter written by the writer on January 22nd 1921:

In the final version, the perpetrator was changed to a man.

Lord Peter Wimsey appeared in eleven novels and two sets of short stories. Lord Peter was described as a mash-up of Fred Astaire and Bertie Wooster, according to Bertie Wooster. In Strong Poison, the authors introduced Harriet Vane, a detective novelist. More than once, she remarked that she had crafted the "husky voiced, dim-eyed" Harriet to put an end to Lord Peter's matrimony. However, Sayers imbued Lord Peter and Harriet with so much life that she would never be able to "see Lord Peter leave the stage," she said.

She co-wrote one murder mystery with Robert Eustace that did not include Wimsey, The Documents in the case, and a part of three other mysteries with several Detection Club members.

In Gaudy Night, Sayers' detective novels explored the suffering of World War I veterans in The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, discussed the ethics of advertising in Murder Must Advertise, and promoted women's education (then a controversial topic). Miss Barton writes a book condemning Nazi ideology of Kinder, Küche, Kirche, which restricted women's roles to family activities, and in some ways the novel can be read as an attack on Nazi social doctrine. It has been dubbed "the first feminist mystery book" in the book. Sayers' detective book is based on her religious and academic experiences.

In addition, Sayers wrote eleven short stories about Montague Egg, a wine and spirits salesman who solves mysteries. Six of these children appeared in Hangman's Holiday (1933), the other five in In the Teeth of the Evidence (1939).

Sayers herself considered her Dante's Divine Comedy to be her best work. Hell first appeared in 1949 as part of a then-new Penguin Classics series. Purgatory was established in 1955. At her death, the third volume (Paradise) was unfinished, and Barbara Reynolds completed it in 1962.

According to Sayers' translation, the original Italian terza rima rhyme scheme is preserved. In the Sayers translation, "Abandon all hope," turns into "Lay down all hope, you who come by me" rhymes, as the line "made to be" rhymes with "made to be" two lines before that, and "unsearchably" two lines before that. Both the traditional rendering and Sayers' translation add to the source text in an attempt to keep the original length; in Sayers, "Lasciate speranza, voi ch'intrate": "here" is added in the Italian text; "by me" is added. "Per me si va ne la città dolente" draws on the canto's previous lines;/per me, ne l'etterno dolore;/ per me, la gente perduta." "Through me, the way leads to the city dolent;/ through me the way leads to the eternal dole;/ through me the way is to the people lost."

Umberto Eco, in his book Mouse or Rat?

According to Sayers, "does the best in at least partially preserving the hendecasyllables and rhyme."

At the end of each canto, Sayers' translation of the Divine Comedy includes extensive notes, describing the historical context of what she describes as "a great Christian allegory." Despite releasing new translations by Mark Musa and Robin Kirkpatrick, Penguin Books' Sayers edition has remained popular in 2009: she was still available.

Sayers' introduction to her translation of The Song of Roland expressed an outspoken sense of attraction and admiration for:

In comparison to Beowulf, in which she found a slew of pagan myths, she praised Roland for being purely Christian myth.

She expressed an enthusiasm for Dante's work with writer, essayist, and lay-theologist Charles Williams (1886-1945), as well as an essay on The Divine Comedy, which was presented to Charles Williams in the memorial volume Essays.

The Mind of the Maker (1941) by Sayers explores in depth the similarity between a human creator (especially a writer of novels and plays) and the Trinity's doctrine of creation. Any human creation of note, according to her, requires the Idea, the Energy (roughly: the process of writing and the final 'incarnation' as a material object), and the Power (roughly: the act of reading and seeing as well as the effect that it has on the audience). She compares this "trinity" to Father, Son's theological Trinity, and the Holy Spirit. The book includes excerpts from her own experience as a writer, as well as critiques of writers who display an incomplete balance between Idea, Energy, and Power, which she believes to be inaccurate. She vehemently argued that literary animals have a personal nature, instead of requesting that Wimsey be "arrive a convinced Christian." "Nothing is more unlikely than him"... Peter is not the Ideal Man" from what I hear about him.

Creed or Chaos?

The Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed are two examples of basic Christian doctrine, but they are based on C. S. Lewis' Mere Christianity. Both groups attempted to lay out the central doctrines of Christianity in a straightforward or watered-down way, on the grounds that, if you are going to criticize something, you should know what it is first.

Many schools in the United States have used her influential essay "The Lost Tools of Learning" as a foundation for the classical education movement, restarting the medieval trivium subjects (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) as tools to enable analysis and mastery of virtually every other subject. According to historians, Sayers wrote three volumes of commentary about Dante, religious studies, and several plays, of which The Man Born to be King may be the most well known. The Just Vengeance, written for the 1946 Lichfield Festival and the 750th anniversary of Lichfield Cathedral, was performed in the cathedral by Elizabeth, Queen Mother in the audience.

Sayers' religious ministry was so good at presenting the orthodox Anglican position in 1943 that she received a Lambeth doctorate in divinity, not as a Christian scholar, but rather than as a Christian person." Temple said he would tell people about it. Sayers received an honorary degree of D. Litt. From the University of Durham.
