We’ve Got A Body In The Bath This is the 2nd edition of the fully annotated “The Complete, Annotated Whose Body?” with revised and added footnotes and essays, a gallery of book covers, and more contemporary reviews. This fully annotated edition of “The Complete, Annotated Whose Body?” includes: * More than 600 footnotes (32,000 words) on English history, aristocracy, religion, society and literature. * Essays about the Argentina economic boom, Adolf Beck, English anti-semitism, William Palmer, Edmond De La Pommerais, the Brides in the Bath, and how Sayers invented Lord Peter Wimsey. * Three maps of London showing locations important to the novel. * Contemporary reviews from U.S. and British newspapers, and judgments from critics and even Sayers herself! * A gallery of book covers from Britain, the U.S., France, Netherlands, and other nations. * Timelines of the life of Dorothy L. Sayers and Lord Peter Wimsey's cases. When a church architect finds a naked man in his Battersea bathroom, Lord Peter Wimsey is on the case! The aristocratic amateur detective, accompanied by his camera-bearing manservant Bunter, follows a trail of blood as he pursues stock market manipulation, medical malpractice, and Lord Brocklebury’s edition of Dante. But the curious case of the bathing body turns darker and deadlier as Lord Peter uncovers a ghastly crime. Published in 1923, Whose Body? was Dorothy L. Sayers’ debut novel. Bill Peschel provided hundreds of footnotes to guide the reader through Lord Peter's world, describing words, objects and ideas that were familiar to Sayers' readers but obscure or unknown today.

Dorothy L. Sayers was one of the "Queens of Crime." Alongside writers like Agatha Christie, she perfected the whodunnit, but also used the genre to explore social, ethical, and emotional matters. Her characters, particularly Lord Peter Wimsey and his investigative partner Harriet Vane, struggle with the complexities of life and love in a rapidly changing world while solving some of the most intricate and complex mysteries ever offered to the reading public. Sayers was also an important theoretician of detective fiction, a religious dramatist, a public intellectual, and one of the 20th century's most important translators of Dante. While focusing on her mystery fiction, this companion offers a full view of all aspects of Sayers's career. It is an ideal introduction for readers new to Sayers's diverse and rewarding body of work, and an invaluable companion for her many fans.

The written word is one of the defining elements of Christian experience. As vigorous in the 1st century as it is in the 21st, Christian literature has had a significant function in history, and teachers and students need to be reminded of this powerful literary legacy. Covering 2,000 years, The Encyclopedia of Christian Literature is the first encyclopedia devoted to Christian writers and books. In addition to an overview of the Christian literature, this two-volume set also includes 40 essays on the principal genres of Christian literature and more than 400 bio-bibliographical essays describing the principal writers and their works. These essays examine the evolution of Christian thought as reflected in the literature of every age. The companion volume also features bibliographies, an index, a timeline of Christian Literature, and a list of the greatest Christian authors. The encyclopedia will appeal not only to scholars and Christian evangelicals, but students and teachers in seminaries and theological schools, as well as to the growing body of Christian readers and bibliophiles.
