When a music hall was a hall of music, whose saccharine and plaintive numbers made everyone weep - from duke to dustman. Talking of dukes, one of those who went perhaps to weep but remained to dance was his Grace of Beaumont, an amiable nobleman; not perhaps very talented but full of that bonhomie that did much to endear him to frequenters of the music hall but not at all to Her Grace the Duchess! Starring Griffith Jones, Anna Lee, Seymour Hicks, Billy Bennett, Edward Rigby and Martita Hunt THERE AIN’T NO JUSTICE (1939) Directed by Penrose Tennyson, written by James Curtis and Sergei Nolbandov from the novel by James Curtis Jimmy Hanley stars as Tommy Mutch, a young garage mechanic and up-and-coming boxer whose family is struggling to make ends meet.

  • Empire and Englishness in the Detective Fiction of Dorothy L. Sayers and PD James
    The Imperial Detective: Empire and Englishness in the Detective Fiction of Dorothy L. Sayers and P. D. James. Lynette Gaye Field Bachelor of Arts with First Class Honours in English. Graduate Diploma in English. This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia, School of Social and Cultural Studies, Discipline of English and Cultural Studies. 2011 ii iii TABLE OF CONTENTS STATEMENT OF CONTRIBUTION v ABSTRACT vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ix INTRODUCTION 1 CHAPTER ONE 27 This England CHAPTER TWO 70 At War CHAPTER THREE 110 Imperial Adventures CHAPTER FOUR 151 At Home AFTERWORD 194 WORKS CITED 199 iv v STATEMENT OF CANDIDATE CONTRIBUTION I declare that the thesis is my own composition with all sources acknowledged and my contribution clearly identified. The thesis has been completed during the course of enrolment in this degree at The University of Western Australia and has not previously been accepted for a degree at this or any other institution. This bibliographical style for this thesis is MLA (Parenthetical). vi vii ABSTRACT Dorothy L. Sayers and P. D. James are writers of classical detective fiction whose work is firmly anchored to a recognisably English culture, yet little attention has been given to this aspect of their work. I seek to redress this. Using Simon Gikandi’s concept of “the incomplete project of colonisation” ( Maps of Englishness 9) I argue that within the works of Sayers and James the British Empire informs and complicates notions of Englishness. Sayers’s Lord Peter Wimsey and James’s Adam Dalgliesh share, with Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, both detecting expertise and the character of the “imperial detective”.

  • The Complete, Annotated Whose Body?
    EXCERPT FROM The Complete, Annotated Whose Body? BY DOROTHY L. SAYERS With Notes, Essays and Chronologies by BILL PESCHEL AUTHOR OF ‘WRITERS GONE WILD’ Peschel Press ~ Hershey, Pa. Available in Trade Paperback, Kindle and other e-reader versions. EXCERPT FROM THE COMPLETE, ANNOTATED WHOSE BODY? Author’s Note This excerpt contains Chapter One, the essays and chronologies of Dorothy L. Sayers‘ life and Lord Peter Wimsey‘s cases. This is what you‘ll see if you buy the trade paperback book (minus this Author‘s Note, of course). The Wimsey Annotations project (at www.planet peschel.com) has been in the works for nearly 15 years and is not yet finished. With the rise in self-publishing, combined with the fact that Sayers‘ first two novels are in the public domain, the time was right for an annotated edition. Researching Sayers‘ life and that of her most famous creation provided fascinating insights into the history of England and its peoples in the 1920s. Sayers was also a well- educated woman, at a time when few women were, and her learning is reflected in Lord Peter‘s aphorisms, witty sayings and direct quotations of everything from classic literature, to Gilbert and Sullivan, to catchphrases of the day. I hope you‘ll find reading ―The Complete, Annotated Whose Body?‖ as enjoyable as I had researching it. Cheers, Bill Peschel THE COMPLETE, ANNOTATED WHOSE BODY? A novel by Dorothy L. Sayers in the public domain in the United States. Notes and Essays Copyright © 2011 Bill Peschel. All rights reserved. Printed in the United States of America.
