The life of Elizabeth represents, in English history, the longest and most spectacular period of a change in society. That change began before her. It was the change from a society directed, at any rate in theory, by a metaphysical idea, to a society directed, both in theory and practice, by nothing but he continual pressure of events. It is a change completed in our day. -from the first chapter Charles Williams was one of the finest-not to mention one of the most unusual-theologians of the twentieth century. His mysticism is palpable-the unseen world interpenetrates ours at every point, and spiritual exchange occurs all the time, unseen and largely unlooked for. His novels are legend, his poetry profound, and as a member of the Inklings, he contributed to the mythopoetic revival in contemporary culture._,

Escrito por Charles Williams
Charles Williams (Texas, 1909 — California, 1975) fue uno de los grandes maestros del thriller literario y la novela negra estadounidense. Antes de dedicarse a escribir trabajó en astilleros y en la marina mercante, experiencia que aportó realismo y precisión técnica a sus relatos ambientados en el mar. Publicó su primera novela en 1951 y destacó por su estilo directo, elegante y cargado de tensión psicológica. Entre sus obras más conocidas figuran The Hot Spot, Aground y Dead Calm, llevada al cine en 1989. Hoy se le considera un autor fundamental del noir norteamericano.
