The Masques of Amen House (2000) is a posthumously published collection of masques that Charles Walter Williams wrote for performance at Oxford University Press’s London office, known as Amen House. Williams worked at the press from 1908 until his death in 1945, and the masques were part of the office’s social life.
These short dramatic works blend allegory with workplace humor, reflecting Williams’s habit of finding theological and mythic patterns in ordinary settings. Published over fifty years after his death, the book preserves a side of Williams’s writing that his novels and poetry readers may not know.
