About us
The Dorothy L. Sayers Society was formed in 1976. It promotes the study of the life and work of Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957), who was a writer, scholar, poet, playwright and lay theologian. The Society encourages the performance of Sayers’ plays and the publication of texts by her and about her work and life. The Society also maintains an extensive archive, preserving original material, providing information and assistance for researchers and devotees.

The Society holds an annual convention and publishes its proceedings, along with its journal, Sidelights on Sayers, as well as a bi-monthly Bulletin, occasional papers and other texts.
