The English literary critic Cyril Connolly once wrote that ‘Literature is the art of writing something that will be read twice’. Accepting that as a definition, most writers presumably aim to produce literature. Yet comparatively few achieve this goal. Much of this issue of The Way deals with that minority, writers whose work can be returned to repeatedly and is capable of yielding new thought and insight in each such rereading. Some of the articles deal with explicitly spiritual topics. Others, through autobiography, poetry or the crafting of prose, explore the times in which a writer lived. Each shows how its subject still has something of relevance to say to our own times.
