Charles Williams on Life and Mr. Auden, Untitled Review, ‘Dublin Review'

Charles Williams (1886–1945) won great prestige as poet, novelist, playwright, biographer, literary critic, theological exegete, and conversationalist. His works include ‘The English Poetic Mind’ (1932), ‘Thomas Cranmer of Canterbury’ (1936), ‘War in Heaven’ (1930), and ‘The Descent of the Dove’ (1939), to which Auden acknowledged his indebtedness for ‘many ideas’ in ‘New Year Letter’ (note to 1. 1600).
