Charles Williams' 'Arthurian Torso' (1948) is a modern poetic
exploration of the mythical King Arthur legends and features
contributions by the British writer, C. S. Lewis. Williams (1886-1945)
was a British theologian, playwright, novelist and poet. As a member of
the 'Inklings' literary group at Oxford, alongside C. S. Lewis and J. R.
R. Tolkien, his work supported a strong sense of narrative. For
Williams, spiritual exchanges were an undercurrent to life, and his
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.
