The novels and other works of Charles Williams

Rosie Perera

He was a friend of C.S. Lewis and a member of The Inklings. His novels would be great to have in Vyrso:

• Descent into Hell
• War in Heaven
• Many Dimensions
• The Place of the Lion
• All Hallows' Eve
• Shadows of Ecstasy
• The Greater Trumps

Best known (to me, anyway) theological and literary works:

• The Descent of the Dove
• He Came Down from Heaven
• The Forgiveness of Sins
• Outlines of Romantic Theology
• The Figure of Beatrice

Sean C. Hadley

Is there any chance Logos will make these available?

The old links for some of those on Amazon are broken now. Anyway, it's a new era, and I've now added them all to the Feedback board for voting:

Here's one for all the novels:

And the others (just the top three, which I think are the most important; the second two are combined into one book in the most recent edition):

Voted. Read quite a few of those many years ago when I was in college. Would love to revisit them.

Thanks Rosie! I didn't know this author - we definitely should have his works in Logos, as eBooks (fiction) or Logos editions (rest). Duly voted.

I have a friend who has devoted a portion of her academic life to Charles Williams. She discovered a previously unpublished dramatic poem by him  in the Wade Collection (Inklings stuff and more) at Wheaton College, right around the 100th anniversary of its writing and edited it and published it.

She also is the author of the blog about him, The Oddest Inkling. He definitely was an odd one.

I first heard about him through having a couple of his novels assigned for a class at Regent College ("Recapturing the Imagination: George MacDonald & the Inklings"). They are very strange but fascinating.

Faithlife carries a book about him:

And there's a chapter about him in C. S. Lewis and Friends: Faith and the Power of Imagination.
