   Might as well include "Descent into Hell" and "Many Dimensions".   
   "Shadows of Ecstasy" is somewhat more dated than the others.   
      
   The Arthuriad is also rewarding, though difficult: "Taliessin Through   
   Logres" and "The Region of the Summer Stars". But you'd better have a   
   copy of "Arthurian Torso" on hand to follow Lewis's commentary.   
      
   "The English Poetic Mind" is vital. And "The Figure of Beatrice" is one   
   of the leading books of all time on Dante.
