Dorothy Bussy bola uznávanou prekladateľkou francúzskej literatúry do angličtiny. Jej literárne dedičstvo spočíva predovšetkým v jej precíznych prekladoch, ktoré priblížili diela francúzskych autorov širšiemu publiku. Písala tiež vlastné prozaické diela, ktoré sa často zaoberali zložitými medziľudskými vzťahmi a ženskou identitou. Jej štýl je charakterizovaný jemnou psychologickou sondou a vytvoreným jazykom.
