,Among the first females awarded a degree from Oxford University, Dorothy L. Sayers
proved to
be one of the most versatile writers in post-war England. Sayers was born in 1893, the
only
child of an Anglican chaplain, and she received an unexpectedly good education at home.
For
instance, her study of Latin commenced when she was only six years old. She entered
Oxford in
1912, at a time when the university was not granting degrees to women. By 1920, this
policy had
changed, and Sayers received her degree in medieval literature and modern languages
after
finishing university. That same year, she also received a master of arts degree.
Sayers's first foray into published writing was a collection of poetry released in 1916.
Within a
few years, she began work on the detective novels and short stories that would make her
famous,
due to the creation of the foppish, mystery-solving aristocrat Lord Peter Wimsey. Sayers is
also
credited with the short story mysteries about the character Montague Egg. In spite of her
success
as a mystery writer, Sayers continued to balance popular fiction with academic work; her
translation of Dante's Inferno gained her respect for her ability to convey the poetry in
English
while still remaining true to the Italian terza rima. She also composed a series of twelve
plays
about the life of Christ, and wrote several essays about education and feminism. In her
middle
age, Dorothy L. Sayers published several works of Christian apologetics, one of which
was so
well-received that the archbishop of Canterbury attempted to present her with a doctorate
of
divinity. Sayers, for reasons known only to her, declined.
