Isn't that college based on Somerville, her own college?

Yes, it is. I am currently reading Dorothy L. Sayers THE CENTENARY CELEBRATION with a variety of authors assessing her effect in the field and giving vignettes of their eperiences with her and her works. Quite interesting, the book was publiched in 1993, but the editor escapes me.

Oh good, the only thing I know about Sayers is actually true I did go and find the Sayers section of the library today, so I'll know where they are when I get some free time to read them
See, you've all converted me (plus my friend who says you really should read Gaudy Night if you're at Oxford).

I actually don't have the book with me anymore. I'll get it from the library again sometime. I had so many collections of essays I won't remember which were where!
