'Rochester' is a biography of The Earl of Rochester (1647-1680), written
by Charles Williams in 1935. Charles Williams (1886-1945) was a British
theologian, playwright, novelist and poet. As a member of the 'Inklings'
literary group at Oxford, his work supported a strong sense of
narrative. Williams acknowledged the spiritual undercurrents present in
life and his literary explorations into Christian fantasy writing, such
as 'Descent into Hell' (1937), earned him many followers. This classic
work is now being republished in a new modern edition with a specially
commissioned introductory biography.
