Lord Peter and Harriet: Part II ReviewDorothy Sayers was one of the first women allowed to take a degree at Oxford in the early twentieth century. A very bright, muli-talented young woman who could write, play multiple musical instruments, sing and act, she thrived in the creative, intellectually stimulating atmosphere of Oxford. As a student she met women friends with whom she stayed close her entire life, often collaborating with them on creative projects.
These two mystery novels, Gaudy Night and Busman's Honeymoon, contain biographical elements of her life, with Harriet Vane standing in for the author. Dorothy longed to return to purely intellectual studies, and eventually she did, by writing religious dramas and translating Dante, among other projects.
In Gaudy Night Harriet Vane returns to her version of Oxford and wrestles with the urge to leave the real world behind to re-immerse herself in the cloistered world of the mind. Alas, the real world infiltrates this safe hiding place in the form of poison pen letters and violence. Facing a scandal, the administration asks Harriette to investigate, discreetly. Unfortunately the evil-doer ramps up his/her efforts and the level of menace escalates. Enter Lord Peter Wimsey.
Busman's honeymoon is the story of their marriage and honeymoon, which is spent solving a murder in the country while navigating what it means to be wed. You'll have to do some translation of your own in this one - French - but it's well worth it.
In these two books we experience the struggle our two independent smarty-pants detectives undergo in order to surmount their stubborn egos and commit to one another. That sounds less romantic than it is; the poetic language Dorothy Sayers uses, her own plus quotes from famous poets and writers, makes their interactions swoon-worthy. Lord Peter is the thinking woman's hot potato and Harriet represents every bookish social misfit who ever wished for just such a man.
