This is a new collection of Williams's literary essays, taken from books, pamphlets and periodicals long out of print. The title essay develops William's theory of poetry but is also a covert homage to the woman who was his second and unacknowledged love. These essays cover nearly all his literary interests and the final one shows his sympathy for left-wing political ideas arising from his own poverty-ridden childhood. All shed light not only on their subject but also on Williams himself. Williams projected a collection of his essays with this title but did not in fact complete one. The editor has provided references for Williams's numerous literary allusions.
Charles Williams (1886-1945), friend of T.S.Eliot and C.S.Lewis and admired by W.H.Auden, was a versatile man of letters. He wrote supernatural thrillers, plays, theology and journalism but he saw poetry and criticism as being his real work. He was a member of the Inklings' circle in Oxford during the Second World War.The Editor, Stephen Barber, was for many years Treasurer of the Charles Williams Society and has written several articles on the writer.
