Her first published writings were two volumes of verse, 1916 Op. 1 1919 Catholic Tales Christ walks the world again, his lute upon his back, His red robe worn to tatters, his riches gone to rack.

    Extractions: Dorothy L(eigh) Sayers (1893-1957) British novelist, essayist, medieval scholar and anthologist. Sayers is best-known for her stories about the amateur aristocratic detective hero Lord Peter Wimsey, who made his breakthrough in the novel WHOSE BODY? (1923), wearing a top hat like Fred Astaire. After the late 1930s, Sayers wrote no more detective novels, but concentrated on theological dramas, radio plays and verse. "Lord Peter's library was one of the most delightful bachelor rooms in London. Its scheme was black and primrose; its walls were lined with rare editions, and its chairs and Chesterfield sofa suggested the embraces of the houris. In one corner stood a black baby-grand, and wood fire leaped on a wide old-fashioned hearth, and the Sevres vases on the chimney-piece were filled with ruddy and gold chrysanthemums." (from Whose Body? Dorothy Sayers was born in Oxford as the daughter of the Rev. Henry Sayers, the director of the Christchurch Cathedral Choir School, and Helen Mary (Leigh) Sayers. She was very gifted from the early age in languages, learning Latin by the age of seven and French from her governess. In 1912 she won a scholarship to the Oxford women's college Somerville, and in 1916 she published her first book, a verse collection titled OP I.

    Extractions: Whose Body? by Dorothy L. Sayers (1898-1957) Introduction to the online edition by John Mark Ockerbloom Mary Mark Ockerbloom and I are pleased to introduce Lord Peter Wimsey to the Internet. This is his first published adventure, and the only one in the public domain in the US at the time of this writing. Though his creator, Dorothy L. Sayers, first brought him into print more than 80 years ago, and published her last Wimsey story in the early 1940s, there's still a freshness and sense of both wit and humanity in these stories that keeps them in print and widely read long after many more recent detectives in literature have been forgotten. Though Sayers is now most commonly known as a detective novelist, that was not what Sayers envisioned at the start of her career. Sayers was one of the first women to get a degree from Oxford University, where she read Dante and wrote articles and poems for student magazines. After graduation, she published two short books of poetry ( Op. I and Catholic Tales and Christian Songs , both online at this site). She took up various jobs teaching, working for a publisher, and writing for an advertising agency (an experience she would draw on for a later Lord Peter mystery, Murder Must Advertise ). Sayers knew that detective novels were popular, and could potentially earn her much more than poetry could. And, as she noted in a letter to a friend, it was a kind of escape to be able to write about a character who thought nothing of having lavish meals and buying rare incunabula at auction when her own budget for food and books was considerably more meager.
