Описание: A must-read for fans of Agatha Christie's Poirot and Margery Allingham's Campion Mysteries, Lord Peter Wimsey is the immortal amateur sleuth created by Dorothy L Sayers. When Harriet Vane attends her Oxford reunion, known as the Gaudy, the prim academic setting is haunted by a rash of bizarre pranks: scrawled obscenities, burnt effigies, and poison-pen letters, including one that says, "Ask your boyfriend with the title if he likes arsenic in his soup." Some of the notes threaten murder; all are perfectly ghastly; yet in spite of their scurrilous nature, all are perfectly worded. And Harriet finds herself ensnared in a nightmare of romance and terror, with only the tiniest shreds of clues to challenge her powers of detection, and those of her paramour, Lord Peter Wimsey.

Mild-mannered, inoffensive architect Alfred Thipps finds himself in big trouble when, in preparing to take his morning bath, he finds the tub already occupied by a dead body, wearing nothing but a pair of gold pince-nez glasses. Stolid, unimaginative Police Inspector Sugg is convinced the body is that of Sir Reuben Levy, a famous Jewish financier who disappeared the night before - waving aside objections that, as the body in the tub was uncircumcised, it couldn't be Sir Reuben - and promptly arrests Thipps and his maid for murder.
Luckily for both of them, the Dowager Duchess of Denver takes an interest, and asks her son, Lord Peter Wimsey, to help out. Working with his old friend Detective Charles Parker of Scotland Yard, who's been assigned to the Levy case, Lord Peter sets himself to the task of figuring out who the dead man in the bathtub is. He soon grows to suspect that the two cases are connected in a particularly sinister way . . . .
Lord Peter soon finds himself on the trail of a murderer of a particularly cunning sort, fresh from the perpetration of a shockingly cold-blooded and horrific crime.

Sayers and Her Oxford Circle Remade the World for Women ISBN: 1541644476 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781541644472 Издательство: Little Brown Рейтинг: Цена: 30360.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: A group biography of renowned crime novelist Dorothy L. Sayers and the Oxford women who stood at the vanguard of equal rights Dorothy L. Sayers is now famous for her Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane detective series, but she was equally well known during her life for an essay asking "Are Women Human?" Women's rights were expanding rapidly during Sayers's lifetime; she and her friends were some of the first women to receive degrees from Oxford. Yet, as historian Mo Moulton reveals, it was clear from the many professional and personal obstacles they faced that society was not ready to concede that women were indeed fully human. Dubbing themselves the Mutual Admiration Society, Sayers and her classmates remained lifelong friends and collaborators as they fought for a truly democratic culture that acknowledged their equal humanity. A celebration of feminism and female friendship, The Mutual Admiration Society offers crucial insight into Dorothy L. Sayers and her world.
Автор: Frances Clemson Название: Showing Forth God`s Act in History: Theology and Drama in the Work of Dorothy L. Sayers ISBN: 0567664449 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780567664440 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 89760.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Frances Clemson offers a critical analysis of Sayers' theology through close attention to her dramatic works and to the context in which they were first performed, arguing that Sayers' theology is most fully developed in and through her drama. Clemson also demonstrates how the theology instantiated in these works can reconfigure contemporary discussions about the relationship between theology and the arts. Clemson starts with providing an overview of Sayers' life and work, and situates her discussion within the landscape of existing theological engagements with drama, differentiating her argument from other works which use drama primarily metaphorically or analogically. Clemson introduces the methodological approach of her examination in terms of the close attention to Sayers' plays and their performance context. She concludes her discussion drawing together the case made across the books that Sayers' books enact a theology in which knowledge of God and attentiveness to human historical existence go hand in hand. Clemson clearly demonstrates that Sayers' theology merits greater attention than it has yet received, and emphasizes the importance of the close study of particular dramatic works and their performance contexts for ongoing work in theology and the arts.
