Charles Williams: The Third Inkling by Grevel Lindop
5.0
A superlative biography. Thoroughly researched, clearly written, and making a strong case for the importance of its subject. It also offers many new discoveries about Williams' private life. Some of these are surprising, shocking even, but there is no prurience: Lindop is always at pains to explore their connection to Williams' creative practice.
Readers attracted by the subtitle may come away feeling a little disappointed, since the Inklings only constituted a small part of Williams' event-filled life, but the appearances by T. S. Eliot, Auden. Dorothy L. Sayers, et al., more than make up for this.
