Nicholas Crowe takes a more favorable view than Mirsky, calling Narezhnyi "the inheritor and fine-tuner of that solid 18th-century novel-writing tradition in Russia that established prose as a workable and valid medium": > An accomplished writer of novels and short stories alike, he represented the > high point of the 18th-century fictional legacy rather than the modes of the > rapidly evolving literary environment of the early 19th century in which he > happened to find himself working. For imaginative sweep, wit, satirical > acuity, and consummate gifts in the art of story-telling one could, during > that period, do worse than turn to Narezhnyi...Nicholas Crowe in Neil > Cornwell, Reference Guide to Russian Literature (Taylor & Francis, 1998; ), > p. 572.

Sayers's religious book The Mind of the Maker (1941) explores at length the analogy between a human creator (especially a writer of novels and plays) and the doctrine of the Trinity in creation. She suggests that any human creation of significance involves the Idea, the Energy (roughly: the process of writing and that actual 'incarnation' as a material object), and the Power (roughly: the process of reading and hearing and the effect that it has on the audience). She draws analogies between this "trinity" and the theological Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The book contains examples drawn from her own experiences as a writer, as well as criticisms of writers who exhibit, in her view, an inadequate balance of Idea, Energy, and Power.

Sabine, the rector of the nearby Church of the Atonement, which is no longer extant, refused to conduct funeral services for an actor named George Holland, suggesting, "I believe there is a little church around the corner where they do that sort of thing."
