Seller's Description:
New. In light of Barfield's central place in the life of the Inklings, his fundamentally influential friendship with C.S. Lewis, and his reputation among literary lights as diverse as W.H. Auden, Howard Nemerov, and Saul Bellow as one of the most profound thinkers of the twentieth-century-it is curious and unfortunate that so much of Barfield's work has become so scarce. This Reader is a little bulwark against this trend. It includes selections from books by Barfield still in print, such as Poetic Diction, Saving the Appearances, and History in English Words, but also valuable excerpts from those which are not: Unancestral Voices, Romanticism Comes of Age, History, Guilt, and Habit, The Rediscovery of Meaning, Worlds Apart, Speaker's Meaning, and The Silver Trumpet. The twenty-five page introduction by G.B. Tennyson is also a brief yet thorough mini-biography and appreciation of Barfield's work. We leave you with Bellow's testimony to Barfield's greatness: 'We are well supplied with interesting writers, but Owen Barfield is not content to be merely interesting. His ambition is to set us free. from the prison we have made for ourselves by our ways of knowing, our limited and false habits of thought, our 'common sense. '' 191 pp.
