The Owen Barfield in Russian Club is now ten years old. From the very beginning, we called it a club, although it could be called a “circle” or a “society”, or have no special designation at all, like the Inklings, who are sometimes named an “informal literary group”, though none of them ever thought of it in these terms while it was active. However, our group, brought together by an interest in the works of one single author, Owen Barfield, became a club.
