Description: Sleuthing Dorothy L. Sayers’ 1942 Address on Anglican Worship - A “Wimsey-cal” Detection of the Background and Context of the Text
Bryan Spinks, the Bishop F. Percy Goddard Professor of Liturgical Studies and Pastoral Theology, Yale University
The Aidan Kavanagh Lecture: Best known for her detective novels and religious plays, Dorothy L. Sayers was a “daughter of the vicarage.” The lecture explores the evidence in her letters and novels for her personal liturgical background and an immediate bibliographical source for her little-known 1942 lecture on Anglican Worship.
