PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957), born and educated in Oxford, was an accomplished novelist, poet, playwright, scholar, and Christian apologist. Along with her religious drama, her numerous writings include translations of Dante, detective stories, theological works, and studies of the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
I am delighted at the long overdue republication of Dorothy L. Sayers' religious plays, which will help make these valuable texts available to the current generation. Let us hope that some theatre enthusiasts will be encouraged to re-stage them! Suzanne Bray, Lille Catholic University As Ann Loades makes clear in her extremely informative introduction, Dorothy L. Sayers' plays are arguably the place where she did her best theological work. The republication of these plays makes it possible again for this remarkable writer to have the readers she so richly deserves. Stanley Hauerwas, Duke Divinity School
