Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957) is best known as the creator of Lord Peter Wimsey. Her blue-blooded sleuth romps cheerfully through 1920s and 1930s high society, solving mysteries among the upper classes of Belgravia and the artistic Bohemians of Bloomsbury. Arguably the best of the leading “Golden Age” crime writers, Sayers once stated that her goal in writing detective fiction was to elevate the mystery novel into a novel of manners. Sayers was also a distinguished theologian and classical scholar, whose translations of Dante are still in print today.
