Seed of Adam and Other Plays

'Seed of Adam and Other Plays' (1948) is a collection of existential verse by Charles Williams exploring death, fear and themes of Christian symbolism. Charles Williams (1886-1945) was a British theologian, playwright, novelist and poet. As a member of the 'Inklings' literary group at Oxford, his work supported a strong sense of narrative. For Williams, spiritual exchanges were an undercurrent to life, and his literary explorations into Christian fantasy writing earned him many followers. This classic work is now being republished in a new modern edition with a specially commissioned introductory biography.
