The key to Williams' mystically oriented theological thought, Descent into Hell (arguably Williams' greatest novel) is a multidimensional story about human beings who shut themselv es up in their own narcissistic projections, so that they are no longer able to love, to 'co-inhere.' The result is a veritable hell. (1886-1945) An intense, imaginative, magnetic person, Charles Williams was a member of the Inklings, the group of creative Oxford Christians of the 1930s and 1940s thatincluded C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. Though heexcelled in many literary genres, Williams is bestremembered for his poetry and his originalfiction--contemporary religious novels filled withsuspense, mystery, and supernatural conflict.
