One of the most ambitious essays in the interpretation of Dante is Charles Williams' subtle and individual interpretation of the role of Beatrice. Williams' mysticism is palpable--the unseen world interpenetrates ours at every point, and spiritual exchange occurs continuously, unseen and largely unlooked for.

Reader reviews for The Figure of Beatrice: A Study in Dante

From the publisher

One of the most ambitious essays in the interpretation of Dante our time has seen...his interpretation of the role of Beatrice is a subtle and individual one. Charles Williams was one of the finest-not to mention one of the most unusual-theologians of the twentieth century. His mysticism is palpable-the unseen world interpenetrates ours at every point, and spiritual exchange occurs all the time, unseen and largely unlooked for. His novels are legend, and as a member of the Inklings, he contributed to the mythopoetic revival in contemporary culture.

Description:
Apocryphile Press, October 2005. Paper Back. New. <p>Many people don't quite know what to make of Charles Williams. An integral member of the Inklings set during World War II, he was a guest lecturer at Oxford, where he was a charismatic lecturer with a devoted, almost cult-like following. At Oxford University Press, he began as a reader and ended up as literary advisor until the end of his life. He was mostly self-educated, having had to drop out of college on 'financial grounds'; he was an unswerving member of the Church of England, with 'a refreshing tolerance of the skepticism of others, and a firm belief in the necessity of a 'doubting Thomas' in any apostolic body.'
