During the 1930s at Oxford, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams were remarkable friends, writers, and scholars and met regularly to discuss philosophy and literature and to read aloud from their own works in progress. Calling themselves the Inklings, their circle grew. It was in this company that such classics as The Lord of the Rings, The Screwtape Letters, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe first found an audience.
Author Humphrey Carpenter was born in Oxford and was acquainted with Tolkien, Hugo Dryson, and several other Inklings. In this remarkable reconstruction of their meetings and momentous friendships, Carpenter brings to life those warm and enchanting evenings in Lewis' rooms at Magdalen College, when their imaginations ran wild. His account offers exciting insights into the influence these brilliant individuals had on each other's developing ideas and writing.

The Inklings A Group of Writers Whose Literary Fantasies Still Fire the Imagination of All Those Who Seek a Truth Beyond Reality Humphrey Carpenter 9780395276280 Books Reviews

This is an excellent biography of the men known as The Inklings. It is well-written and engrossing, and you will come away feeling that you know these men individually. Fascinating!
Humphrey Carpenter's book on The Inklings is an excellent read if you are fans of these famous authors. If you're not a fan, but you are interested in these authors, or The Inklings, this book will be of great benefit as an introduction.
Humphrey Carpenter did a good job of writing a book about several of the Inklings, mainly C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Charles William.
This is a fascinating look at a group of British men who just happened to be extraordinarily talented and literate authors. Some became very famous, others not so much, but they were all absolutely interesting, engaging men. Mr. Carpenter has written an absorbing book about a narrow time frame that produced several world famous authors and engaging men and the place where they met every week.
Great read over three amazing men! It adds a new dimension to LOTR and the Chronicles of Narnia as you get to know more about there writers. It would have been amazing to get be a part of their group!
The story of these three men Lewis. Tolkien and Charles Williams, as well as Owen Barfield, Neville Coghill, Warren Lewis and others, is told in a well-researchec, lively and personal way. These men had influence on students, readers, hearers, each other and our wider culture - 20th and 21st centuries. From excerpts of poetry, to clarity around personal approaches, this book is interesting page after page.
You would think that writers like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien would fit the image we have of most writers. You would think they simply sat down and penned their works, turned them over to an editor and published them. That was hardly the case.

C. S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams and other friends--all of them scholars--began to meet regularly on Thursday evenings in Lewis's room at Magdalene College at Oxford. These gatherings were to provide sessions for the readings of their works in progress, as well as discussions (not limited to them, but philosophical or otherwise) in an atmosphere which embraced no rules--no agenda. They called themselves "The Inklings." The "regulars" of the group were included C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Owen Barfield, Charles Williams, Christopher Tolkien, Warren Lewis, Hugo Dyson, Lord David Cecil, Roger Lancelyn Green, Adam Fox, R. A. Havard, J. A. W. Bennett, and Nevill Coghill. There were many less frequent attendees and visitors. They met for almost two decades. Later, they also began to have "pub" meetings at midday on Tuesdays. The Inklings provided a backdrop and the first audiences for some of the famous works we know such as The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Screwtape Letters, and Lord of the Rings.

This book provides a rare insight into the lives of these men that was not otherwise known. Humphrey Carpenter knew a number of the Inklings and was able to reconstruct the habitual environment surrounding these meetings and recreate their friendships for us.

I recommend this in general to all people who read these authors works, but especially to the lovers of C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.

I enjoyed this on audio cassettes.
