Poet and novelist Charles Williams (1886-1945) was a close friend of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. He wrote some of the twentieth century’s finest poems on the Arthurian legends, and embodied his religious vision in seven highly readable ‘spiritual thrillers’. An influential Anglican theologian, he was also involved in esoteric work. Rowan Williams called Grevel Lindop’s biography Charles Williams: The Third Inkling ‘comprehensive, judicious, sympathetic, but also properly surprised by its subject’. We shall explore Charles Williams’s poetry, fiction, and ideas, and ask what they have to teach us now
