Dorothy L. Sayers and the Wages of Cinema - Crystal Downing
Biographers have long assessed Sayers’s concern with the wages of sin. None, however, discuss how wages from cinema shaped her response to sin. This lecture, based on archival research at the Marion E. Wade Center in Wheaton, Illinois, offers a whole new way to think about the montage of Sayers’s life. Employing images from the history of both Sayers and cinema, it demonstrates how moving images moved Sayers, transforming her from detective fiction author to one of the most important influences on the spiritual life of C. S. Lewis
Concurrent Paper Session 2A: The Theological Imagination of Sayers
No full text\u27Christ Walks the World Again\u27: The Image of Christ in Sayers\u27s Catholic Tales - Barbara Prescott
As a Christian apologist, Dorothy L. Sayers is little appreciated as religious poet. Yet in her early years, Sayers considered herself first and foremost a poet, and a large portion of this poetry was an expression of Christian romanticism in myth and legend. In her twenties, Sayers published a collection of poems in sonnet and ballad structure which reflect and interpret the heroic roles of Jesus the Christ. Within this small book, Catholic Tales and Christian Songs (1918), we are given a glimpse of those imaginative, unusual, and unfamiliar images of Jesus Christ. We are given the varied faces of Christ as a legendary folk and mythic Hero. Sources include the published version of the text, earlier manuscript of the book, as well as Dorothy L. Sayers’s notes and unpublished letters from the archives of the Marion E. Wade Center in Wheaton, IL.
The First and Second Wave of Dorothy L. Sayers - Hannah Stumpf
Snyder Reading Lewis Reading Sayers - Alan Snyder
While Dorothy L. Sayers was not an official Inkling, she was of the same spirit, having an Oxford degree, contributing an essay to the volume commemorating Charles Williams, and carrying on a personal correspondence with C. S. Lewis. Although Lewis had no interest in detective stories, in which Sayers made her name as an author, he nevertheless developed a great love of some of her other works: The Man Born to Be King, The Mind of the Maker, and her translation of Dante, in particular. What was it about those writings and Sayers herself that Lewis appreciated? This paper will examine his perspective on Sayers via both their personal correspondence and his writings to others about her and her works. In addition, I will compare my own perspective on Sayers’s writings with Lewis’s.
The Theological Aesthetics of Dorothy L. Sayers as Interpretive Key to the Fantasy Worlds of Lewis and Tolkien - Gary L. Tandy
In The Mind of the Maker, Dorothy L. Sayers suggests that all artistic creations are threefold. Specifically, all creative works contain the Creative Idea (the image of the Father), the Creative Energy (the image of the Word), and the Creative Power (the image of the indwelling Spirit). Throughout her book, Sayers applies her theory to various literary artists and works, demonstrating how a Trinitarian view of the creative or faithful imagination helps explain their artistic successes or failings. I aim to explore how applying Sayers’s theory may open new avenues of understanding and appreciation for Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia and Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Among other observations, I will suggest that Sayers’s theories are especially appropriate windows into the works of fantasy writers or world builders like Lewis and Tolkien, for in their efforts to craft worlds outside our earthly experience, we can see clearly how these authors became the gods of their own creations. In the process, I also hope to demonstrate that Sayers provides a useful “theological aesthetic” for Christian readers and literary critics—the kind David Lyle Jeffrey and Gregory Maillet call for in their Christianity and Literature: Philosophical Foundations and Critical Practice (2011)
An Introductory Paper on Dorothy Sayers
No full textConsiders Sayers as the Inkling-related author who best articulates the theme of man as sub-creator. Finds this theme manifest in the Lord Peter Wimsey novels—the criminal plotting the crime and the detective re-creating it are both practicing sub-creativity—as well as more explicitly in her religious plays. Also discusses the themes of academic and intellectual honesty essential to the novel Gaudy Night. This work is licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 4.
Books, Theology, and Hens: the Correspondence and Friendship of C. S. Lewis and Dorothy L. Sayers
No full textThat Lewis and Sayers had much in common and that their lives intersected in a number of interesting ways throughout their careers is common knowledge for even the casual follower of either author. What does not seem to have been appreciated or explained sufficiently in the scholarship to date is the nature of the friendship between these two influential Christian authors. Therefore, it is this friendship we wish to shed light on, using as our primary source the correspondence between Lewis and Sayers from 1942-1957. In addition, we look at what the biographers of each author have to say about their relationship
The apologetic value of theological truth through story and pattern in the works of Dorothy L. Sayers
No full textThis thesis sets out to understand the theological method of Dorothy L. Sayers, a complex woman of letters. The preeminent argument is that a new and helpful paradigm for understanding Sayers' work and evaluating her contribution to Christian apologetics is her emphasis on accessing and expressing theological 'truth', through 'story' and 'pattern'. Sayers consistently explored theological truths in the context of dramatic narratives and orderly systems.
The primary research methodology is to find, read and use Sayers' own letters as the principal sources to shed light on her published work. The thesis seeks to show that recognising Sayers' passion for truth, through story and pattern makes a significant contribution towards understanding her canon as a unity. The thesis differs in perspective in this regard from other Sayers scholarship, which has placed emphasis on other particular theological motifs or literary points in her career as an author. Furthermore, this thesis will differ from other theological analyses of Sayers' work in that it engages with the full diversity of genres in Sayers' canon and does so from a rigorous theological perspective rather than by taking a biographical approach.
This thesis contributes to current theological understanding by bringing the work of a significant lay female Christian thinker of the twentieth century to the attention of scholarship. Sayers' work has continuing resonance for contemporary theologians who are interested in the role of narrative, drama and analogy in theology, and in the creative communication of theological ideas.</p
