The Letters of Dorothy L. Sayers: 1899-1936: The Making of a Detective Novelist

The letters of Dorothy Sayers to family, friends and professional colleagues bear the imprint of her vigorous mind, reflecting the social, cultural and religious issues in which she took a passionate interest. In this volume, Barbara Reynolds has selected letters which provide a portrait of a young woman who loved and lost and a mother who could not acknowledge her own child but who poured her frustrated love for him into her letters.
