Description: (Mystery) Sayers, Dorothy L. : Clouds Of Witness & The Unpleasantness At The Bellona Club: Hardcover. Harper & Row, New York. 1970. Book Club Edition, Near Fine Very Good+ This book is in Near Fine condition and has a Very Good+ dust jacket. The book and its contents are in generally clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright. The dust jacket is mostly clean and bright but does have some toning and ground-in dirt to the white portions. There is one small tear to the bottom rear spine joint. "Sayers introduced the character of detective novelist Harriet Vane in Strong Poison. She remarked more than once that she had developed the "husky voiced, dark-eyed" Harriet to put an end to Lord Peter via matrimony. But in the course of writing Gaudy Night, Sayers imbued Lord Peter and Harriet with so much life that she was never able, as she put it, to "see Lord Peter exit the stage". Sayers did not content herself with writing pure detective stories; she explored the difficulties of First World War veterans in The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, discussed the ethics of advertising in Murder Must Advertise, and advocated women's education (then a controversial subject) and role in society in Gaudy Night. In Gaudy Night, Miss Barton writes a book attacking the Nazi doctrine of Kinder, Kirche, Küche, which restricted women's roles to family activities, and in many ways the whole of Gaudy Night can be read as an attack on Nazi social doctrine. The book has been described as "the first feminist mystery novel." " (from Wikipedia) 3 132 #44320 $15
