Preview Unpopular Opinions

Description:
Dorothy Sayers is one of the most creative thinker of the early twentieth century. She deserves to be more widely read today. Some of the essays are rather dated, especially those on women which urge changes that now have been made. But most of her ideas are as relevant today as they were in her own time. And her writing is excellent--- a joy to read.
I have called this collection of fugitive pieces "Unpopular Opinions," partly, to be sure, because to warn a person off a book is the surest way of getting him to read it, but chiefly because I have evidence that all the opinions expressed have in fact caused a certain amount of annoyance one way and the other. Indeed, the papers called "Christian Morality," "Forgiveness" and "Living to Work" were so unpopular with the persons who commissioned them that they were suppressed before they appeared: the first because American readers would be shocked by what they understood of it; the second because what the Editor of a respectable newspaper wanted (and got) was Christian sanction for undying hatred against the enemy; the third—originally intended for a Sunday evening B.B.C. "Postscript"—on the heterogeneous grounds that it appeared to have political tendencies, and that "our public do not want to be admonished by a woman."
