The hidden library of Tanith Lee
A succinct literary crticism of the work of 1920s gnostic visionary and philosophical fantasist David Lindsay. Despite it being Lindsay's most important work Wilson spends a disproportionate amount time (in what is already a very short work (63 pages)) discusing A Voyage to Arcturus (33 pages) givng over the remaining 30 pages to the author's remaining 5 works!
That said Wilson's workaday prose is a refreshing alternative to much literary crticism of the day bringing clarity to the densely complex theological and philosophical concepts and frameworks (gnosticism, Manicheanism, Nietschze, Schopenhauer, et al.) via which he reads and interprets some of the themes (and, Wilson argues, the supposed intentions) of this mind-blazingly original novel (and novelist)!
Literary elitists have always been down on Colin Wilson's 'populist' style and approach but here it forms the basis of an illuminating, if a little unbalanced, analysis of that original blazing talent.
