The Inklings and Culture: A Harvest of Scholarship from the Inklings Institute of Canada (1st edition.)

How did five twentieth-century British authors, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, Owen Barfield, and Dorothy L. Sayers, along with their mentors George MacDonald and G. K. Chesterton, come to contribute more to the intellect and imagination of millions than many of their literary contemporaries put together? How do their achievements continue to inform and potentially transform us in the twenty-first century? In this first collection of its kind, addressing the entire famous group of seven authors, the 27 chapters gathered here explore the legacy of their diverse literary art-inspired by the Christian faith-which continues to speak hope into a hurting and deeply divided world.
