Thinkers and writers central to Barfield’s work include Johann Wolfgang von #Goethe, Samuel Taylor #Coleridge, and Rudolf #Steiner. Although best known for his non-fiction, such as Poetic Diction and Saving the Appearances, Barfield also wrote poetry, fiction, and plays. /3

As a leading #anthroposophist in the English-speaking world, Barfield was especially interested in the evolution of human consciousness, exploring its development through the history of language. /2

"Owen Barfield on CS Lewis" is an excellent book for any CS Lewis scholar. I also recommend "The Silver Trumpet," to be republished in a 100th anniversary edition next year: the first fairytale by an Inkling and a big inspiration for Lewis and Tolkien.
