An Immortality For Its Own Sake: A Study Of The Concept Of Poetry In The Writings Of Charles Williams is a comprehensive analysis of the concept of poetry in the works of Charles Williams, a British writer, theologian, and member of the Inklings literary group. The book is written by John Gigrich, a scholar and expert in the field of literary studies.The book explores the idea of poetry as a means of achieving immortality, both for the poet and for the reader. Gigrich examines Williams' poetry and prose works, including his novels, essays, and literary criticism, in order to understand the ways in which Williams viewed poetry as a form of spiritual expression and a means of connecting with the divine.Gigrich also delves into Williams' ideas about the role of the poet in society, and how poetry can be used to promote social and political change. The book provides a detailed analysis of Williams' use of language, imagery, and symbolism in his poetry, as well as his views on the relationship between poetry and other forms of artistic expression.Overall, An Immortality For Its Own Sake is a thought-provoking and insightful study of the concept of poetry in the writings of Charles Williams, and will be of interest to scholars and students of literature, theology, and philosophy.The Catholic University Of America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
