The action of The Childermass takes place outside Heaven. The walls of the magnetic City rise beyond the river, and the camp of the dead lies on either side of the highway. Where the highway ends at the riverside is a ferry station. It will shortly be time for the dead to appear before their Examining Magistrate, the Bailiff.

Talk by D. S. Came-Ross
Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, for three hundred years one of the most read of all European poems, is now ignored except by specialists. Mr. Carne-Ross argues that though it is apparently lacking in many of the qualities modern readers demand from poetry it is quite as relevant to contemporary experience as the work of the great artists of the Renaissance, with whom Ariosto has much in common.
