Charles Williams

Seed of Adam - A Nativity Play

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

'Seed of Adam' is a play by Charles Williams based around the Nativity story. It forms part of a collection of existential verse exploring death, fear and themes of Christian symbolism. Charles Williams (1886-1945) was a British theologian, playwright, novelist and poet. As a member of the 'Inklings' literary group at Oxford, his work supported a strong sense of narrative. For Williams, spiritual exchanges were an undercurrent to life, and his literary explorations into Christian fantasy writing, such as 'Descent into Hell' (1937), earned him many followers. This classic work is now being republished in a new modern edition with a specially commissioned introductory biography.
