More about the book
Charles Williams (1886-1945), author and scholar, joined the staff of the Oxford University Press in 1908, the publishing house in which he worked for the rest of his life. Throughout these years, poetry, novels, plays, biographies, history, literary criticism, and theology poured from his pen. At the beginning of the Second World War the publishing house was evacuated to Oxford where, in addition to his own writing and his editorial work for the press, he taught in the University. This play was written for performance at the Canterbury Festival of 1936, the year following T.S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral. Eliot saw the play and became a steady admirer of Williams' work.
