School of English graduate Rory O'Connor publishes edited selection of Owen Barfield's workSchool of English graduate Rory O'Connor (2019) has recently published an edited collection of essays by the twentieth-century writer and philosopher Owen Barfield (1898-1997). With C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and others, Barfield was part of the Inklings group in Oxford in the 1930s. Over the course of his long career he published in areas such as poetic diction, imagination, consciousness, and spirituality. Rory's selection of Barfield's essays is a brilliant introduction for those unfamiliar with the author's work, and a useful selection for those who wish to reacquaint themselves with the ideas of an important figure in the intellectual and cultural history of the twentieth century.
