A Charles Williams Reader by Charles Williams

The poems tend to be short-lined with a definite cadence, heavy on the end-rhyme, and are sprinkled with King Jamesian English. Most of the early poems smack of Milton, or at least are done in a style more archaic than the era in which they were written. (Check in Lois Glenn’s Williams checklist for these volumes.) Along with this cycle are reprinted various poems published in Heroes and KIngs, Three Plays, New English Poems (edited by Lascalles Abercrombie), and Time and Tide. The poems in The Advent of Galahad were written in the years 1929-31, and though complete as a cycle were never published. The second part (uncollected and unpublished poems) is divided into The Advent of Galahad and intermediate poems, with an introduction, and poems after Taliessen Through Logres, again with an introduction. Those acquainted with those works need no introduction to them those who have not read them are missing, in my humble opinion, perhaps the most important work in the Arthurian genre since Tennyson (or if you really want to ruffle feathers, Malory). The first part is basically a reprint of Taliessin Through Logres and The Region of the Summer Stars. This volume of Williams’s Arthurian poems is divided into two parts.

It’s going to be a star-studded occasion, and there’s bound to be a lot of scrutiny on certain members of the royal family - will William and Harry finally reconcile? Mark your calendars, folks. The more we learn about the coronation, the more intrigued we are by the traditions, pomp, and circumstance of it all. This moment will also highlight the continuity of the British monarchy, as Prince William will one day become King of England. While this ceremony will have so many historic implications, the exchange between Prince William and his father will symbolize so much more than just the heir to the throne’s fealty to the newly crowned sovereign. It’s been decades since a new monarch was crowned to the British throne. This shocking A-lister is going to make a rare appearance at King Charles III's coronation.
