The English Poetic Mind

Focusing on the poetic impulse, the book explores the creativity of three influential English poets: Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth. Charles Williams offers an imaginative and critical analysis, reflecting his deep appreciation for poetry. As a member of the 'Inklings,' he emphasizes narrative and spiritual exchanges in his work. Renowned for his Christian fantasy, Williams' insights into poetry and verse continue to resonate. This classic text is now available in a modern edition, featuring a newly commissioned introductory biography.
