I think this is the first book I've ever hated. And that list is pretty short. As a child, it really distressed me - I didn't understand much of it, and it confused me why its tone was so very different from the other Narnia books. Then, when I reread it a few years ago, it just pissed me off. The message about...

Brilliant. Don't let the title fool you! It's about way more than Paradise Lost. Lewis traces the expectations behind Paradise Lost by looking at Homer and Virgil and Beowulf. C.S. Lewis knew why he loved books. Makes me want to read Milton.
His defense of Milton's Style had this fine gem, worth...

Reflections on the Psalms
Some of my favorite things about this wonderful little book by my favorite author:
1. Right away, he takes on the difficult, hard-to-stomach psalms, the ones about such things as dashing the Babylonian babies against the stones. Hard stuff. I'm sure I would have avoided it.
2. This...

Two kinds of people will read this book (and some would think they are one and the same--people like me who love the work of C. S. Lewis and will read anything he wrote, and people who love words and how their meanings develop and change over time.

Why do we read literature and how do we judge it? C.S. Lewis's classic analysis springs from the conviction that literature exists for the joy of the reader and that books should be judged by the kind of reading they invite. Crucial to his notion of judging literature is a commitment to laying aside expectations...

To me, this might be C. S. Lewis' best book. I will have to cop to not really liking the Narnia books (too allegorical and those British schoolchildren are pretty annoying), and while I do quite like his "Space Trilogy" I think that Lewis was much better as a writer of academic non-fiction than he was as a...

Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Literature

| ISBN | 0521645840 |
I LOVED this book. I got it through ILL through my county library, which I've never tried before. C.S.Lewis is characteristically wonderful, and in this book he discusses the La3amon's Brut (Layamon) which I had never heard of before, but it is close to one of the first depictions of the Arthur tale. It...
