MCGREGOR, ROBERT KUHN, 1952- / LEWIS, ETHAN, 1964-. Conundrums for the long week-end: England, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Lord Peter Wimsey. Kent, Ohio: Kent State University Press, 2000, 2d printing number line ending with 2, x, 258pp., . "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. A reflection of the age, Lord Peter's character changed tremendously, mirroring the developing subtleties of his creator's evolving worldview." "Scholars of the Modern Age, fans of the mystery genre, and admirers of Sayers's fiction are sure to appreciate McGregor and Lewis's incisive examination of the literary, social, and historical context of this prized author's most popular work."- CONTENTS: Introduction : England, Sayers, and Lord Peter -- 1.
