I had the pleasure of contributing a scholarly introduction to a recent reprinting of an Owen Barfield essay in VII: Journal of the Marion E. Wade Center. My introduction, as well as the essay itself—“Language, Consciousness, and the Recovery of Human Meaning”—can be found in volume 40 of VII . Link here!
