Oxford about a hundred years ago. I was there this morning and it's not that different bar the traffic... The soot and ivy has been scrubbed off the walls! Dorothy Sayers would have recognised this - in fact, she was awarded her MA in 1920 when the rules changed.

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Tuesday, January 9, 2024

“If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.” – Dorothy Sayers, The Lost Tools of Learning

One of my favorite factoids is that Dorothy Sayers is credited with the slogan "Guinness is good for you." That she spent some considerable time as a copywriter in an advertising agency is clear in "Murder Must Advertise" (one of my favorite mysteries). #guinness #guinnessbeer #guinnesisgoodforyou #dorothysayers #lordpeterwimsey #murdermustadvertise #mystery #mysterynovel https://www.instagram.com/p/CH_vtKLj3cq/?igshid=1dv5paw8zt7th

A must-read for fans of Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Booklist promises that A Gentleman’s Murder “should keep even the most experienced whodunit finders guessing.”

95 Busman’s Honeymoon, adapted by Frances Limoncelli from the novel by Dorothy Sayers dir Paul S Holmquist for Lifeline Theatre. So in the summer of 2009 there I was minding my own business when I got contacted out of the blue and was told Busman’s Honeymoon was extending for four weeks, Christopher M Walsh couldn’t do the last two and would I be interested in coming in to cover those two weeks. So I said yes. Busman’s Honeymoon is part of the Lord Peter Whimsey series of detective novels, and it was the fourth adaptation by Frances of one of those properties. In this particular book, Lord Peter and Harriet Vane have just wed and they, with their loyal manservant, Bunter, have taken to Hertfordshire for the honeymoon in the farmhouse Lord Peter bought and naturally find a dead body. The track I was taking over for was MacBride and a series of reporters. Because we had a series of people going in and out at various times, my put in was a month before my actual performance. When that came, in the my frist public performance of it, we are in the first scene, where I am one of the reporters. Peter Greenberg and Jenifer Tyler are frozen in a variety of tableaus as we speak lines about them and their wedding. One of mine was “He is an insolent puppy.” But right before I was to speak it my brain went, he is an INCONTINENT puppy. I did not speak it out loud, but my brain refused to give up the proper “I” adjective, so I just went “He is a… puppy.” And nearly killed everyone on stage. #retrospective #2009 #Busmanshoneymoon #dorothysayers #franceslimoncelli #paulsholmquist #lifelinetheatre christophermwalsh #macbride #insolentnotincontient (at Lifeline Theatre) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7i9jUxJybF/?igshid=kcf9ac4bu6vn

Lenten and Easter-tide post: Sayers's epic cycle of plays...I did not know they were written for broadcasting. "It was assumed that my object in writing was 'to do good'. But that was in fact not my object at all, though it was quite properly the object of those who commissioned the plays in the first place. My object was to [i]tell that story[\i] to the best of my ability, within the medium at my disposal--in short, to make as good a work of art as I could." - Sayers (in the Preface) "I have re-read it in every Holy Week since it first appeared, and never re-read it without being deeply moved." - CSL #themanborntobeking #jesus #jesuschristislord #catholicliterature #playcycle #dorothylsayers #dorothysayers #plays #playwrights #holyweek #easter #eastertide #cslewis #theinklings #prose #literature #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv9ZS7QAQIH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lzn5sntfm3p1
