Lord Peter Wimsey-amateur detective, man of fashion, talented musician, and wealthy intellectual-is known to legions of readers. His enduring presence and popularity is a tribute to his creator, Dorothy L. Sayers, who brought Lord Peter to life during the long week-end between the First and Second World Wars, as British aristocracy began to change, making way for a modern world. In Conundrums for the Long Week-End, Robert McGregor and Ethan Lewis explore how Sayers used her fictional hero to comment on, and come to terms with, the social upheaval of the time: world wars, the crumbling of the privileged aristocracy, the rise of democracy, and the expanding struggle of women for equality.

Truth in advertising; pick it up when you have a nice long weekend, preferably when it's storming out and there's plenty of hot coffee.
Really well done, compelling, and it's a perfect companion to any Dorothy L. Sayers biography or her works.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
