Sayers created the Lord Peter Wimsey books in the interwar era (between WWI and WWII) and through them, explored the shifting politics, values, and social attitudes of Britain. Lord Peter himself is a wwI veteran of trench warfare and suffers occasional bouts of what we now call Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. He's a younger son and must make his own living, which he sets out to do by solving crimes.
