Owen Barfield Library The Barfield Library contains books and pamphlets that were owned by Owen Barfield, a writer on language and myth, a philosopher, and an anthroposophist. Background Information A large number of these books were acquired and re-sold by Waterfield’s Antiquarian Booksellers, Oxford. In 2001, the Wade Center purchased over 100 volumes, the majority annotated, spanning a wide range of topics. In 2010, Owen Barfield’s grandson, Owen A. Barfield, gave additional volumes and pamphlets/papers from the Barfield library to the Wade Center, and also loaned a number of books from the family’s collection, which is designated “Barfield Family Library.” Related Materials Researchers interested in Barfield’s personal library may request to see the two Waterfield’s catalogs that have the full listing of 1160 Barfield books they offered. Materials from the Barfield Library are also stored in the Wade Center’s original periodical and article file collections, as well as the Barfield Library Publications and Inserts Archive. The Barfield Library Enclosures archive contains inserts removed from books, offprints from periodicals and books, and unpublished writings, all from Barfield’s personal library. Refer to the finding aid for a detailed listing. Key: SIGNED: An * indicates that the book is signed by Owen Barfield. “Present’n copy” indicates the book was presented to Owen Barfield. ANT: An * indicates that the book has been annotated. Bolded text: this indicates the book is shelved by title AUTHOR Adams, Charles L.
