Description
This course uses three of Williams' novels (The Greater Trumps, The Place of the Lion and Descent into Hell, ) as an introductio to some key themes in Williams' thought. Among these themes are "Coinherence" and "substituted love" (the way we live our lives in and through each other); the tension and complimentarity of the "way of affirmation" (which says "yes" to things and images as a way of knowing God) and the "way of negotiation"(which says "no" to them); and the false distinctions we draw between the "natural" and the "supernatural" - all our existence being in fact "under the mercy". Though focus will be on these novels, Williams' criticism will be drawn upon as well as his theology and his poetry.
