David Lindsay

    Sir David Lyndsay of the Mount was een Schotse wapenkoning, dichter en dramaturg wiens werken de geest van de Renaissance weerspiegelen. Zijn werk, inclusief het enige bestaande Schotse moraliteitenspel, wordt gewaardeerd om zijn satirische commentaar op de samenleving en levendige taal. Lyndsay verweefde meesterlijk humor en sociale kritiek, waardoor hij erkenning kreeg als een belangrijke stem in de Schotse literatuur van zijn tijd.

      A Voyage to Arcturus is a novel by Scottish writer David Lindsay, first published in 1920. It combines fantasy, philosophy, and science fiction in an exploration of the nature of good and evil and their relationship with existence. It has been described by critic and philosopher Colin Wilson as the "greatest novel of the twentieth century", and was a central influence on C. S. Lewis's Space Trilogy. Also J. R. R. Tolkien said he read the book "with avidity", and praised it as a work of philosophy, religion, and morality.
