Through Defeat to Joy: The Novels of Charles Williams in the light of Jungian thought
In his essay 'On Stories' published in Essays Presented to Charles Williams, C.S. Lewis speaks of the neglect of Story in the modern world, and defines it as a form of literature in which 'everything is there for the sake of the story'. The novels of Charles Williams are of this kind. The stories they tell are largely concerned with the relationships of men and women to the archetypal powers behind human life, and, like all real stories, they are about individual choices and the interaction of those choices with the operation of fate. -Helen Luke
