The Passionate Intellect: Dorothy L. Sayers' Encounter with Dante by Barbara Rey

Description: The Passionate Intellect by Barbara Reynolds Dorothy L. Sayers, detective novelist, poet, scholar, playwright, and Christian apologist, spent the last fourteen years of her life reading and translating Dantes Divine Comedy. The first two volumes of her translation, Hell and Purgatory, were published during her lifetime, but when she died in 1957 the third volume, Paradise, was unfinished. It was completed by her friend Barbara Reynolds. Thirty years later Barbara Reynolds wrote this book, the first full-length study of this illuminating stage in the creative life of Dorothy Sayers. Drawing on personal reminiscences and unpublished letters, she tells a moving and compelling story. The work explores the dynamic impact of Dante upon a mature mind. New light is shed on Dorothy Sayers personality, her relationship with her friends, her methods of work, and her intellectual and spiritual development. Readers of Dante, no less than readers of Sayers, will find this an exciting book.

Review ""Dr. Reynolds has not told us merely about Sayers Dante translations and lectures; she has told us about Sayers radio broadcasts on Dante, her proposed Dante novel, her carefully planned study on the Beatrician vision; and she has discussed the part Charles Williams played in guiding Sayers in her Dante study. This book observes a brilliant mind meeting a Great Poet and becoming continuously awed, inspired, and energized by his verse and vision."" Ralph E. Hone Review Quote "Dr. Reynolds has not told us merely about Sayers Dante translations and lectures; she has told us about Sayers radio broadcasts on Dante, her proposed Dante novel, her carefully planned study on the Beatrician vision; and she has discussed the part Charles Williams played in guiding Sayers in her Dante study.
