One Half of Robertson Davies

This collection of public addresses provides portraits of literary personalities, advice on writers and writing, and comments on academia and the modern world, all while revealing the heart of Robertson Davies, Canada's leading man of letters. Whether giving advice to schoolgirls, discussing the Age of Aquarius as seen by alchemists, exploring Jungian psychology in the theater and insanity in literature, or telling us how to design a haunted house, Davies brings to all his subjects the same intensity and marvelous craftsmanship that are the hallmarks of his fictional creations.
