Abstract
The strongest link between the medieval and Dorothy L. Sayers’s Christian apologetics are her commentaries on Dante. She was less interested in medievalism than in the medieval itself, used as a mirror of her own century. One result is that Sayers does not discuss Dante’s work in order to promote the gospel but rather finds the gospel fused into it. Her concern with reader response drives both her exposition of Dante and the Christian apologetic embedded in it: to rejoice in Dante, a reader has to suspend disbelief (and other habits of modern thought) and consider whether Christianity might be both true and desirable.
