God, Hitler and Lord Peter Wimsey. Selected Essays, Speeches and Articles By Dorothy L. Sayers. [first edition]

From her first book of poetry to her incomplete translation of the Paradiso of Dante, Dorothy L. Sayers was responsible for hundreds of publications. Novels, short stories, poems, plays, translations, essays and articles of many kinds, book reviews, speeches and radio broadcasts reveal a writer who took her work seriously and managed to earn her living with her pen. Not all of her immense output is easily accessible today. While her fiction has remained more or less continuously in print, much of her other work has been more difficult to find and some speeches, essays and articles have never been reprinted at all. This collection of work by Sayers, presented in chronological order, covers most of her adult life, from the light-hearted meditations of a young woman who still has not found her place in the world to the serious and highly pragmatic opinions of an experienced playwright eager to share what she has learned with others. They cover a wide range of subjects not only God, Hitler and Lord Peter Wimsey , but also Oxford, drama, love, the press, the Church and the devil, among others! One text, the radio broadcast The over-30 Association, has never been published before.
