The Inklings were, to be sure, the most important literary group of the twentieth-century, rivaling and surpassing the much touted Bloomsbury Group. This book focuses on the Inklings from Tolkien’s point of view.  As with Lewis, Barfield, Charles Williams, and Lord David Cecil, Tolkien wanted the group to serve as a bardic defense of Western civilization, Socrates through Dante. Birzer explores, as they did, how Tolkien’s approach to myth and legend might reawaken the West to what it could be and to what it once aspired.
