C.S. Lewis in Context

by Doris T. Myers

Doris Myers argues that C. S. Lewis was not "out of touch with his time", as some critics claim, but a 20th-century literary figure engaged in the issues of his day. By placing Lewis's work in the literary milieu of his times and within the public context of language, she provides new treatments of The Pilgrim's Regress, That Hideous Strength, and the Chronicles of Narnia to clarify his literary contributions.

[Matthew Richey · Rating 5 out of 5]

Insightful and helpful in understanding Lewis' literary and philosophical context. Highly recommended for fans of Lewis' fiction (she deals with Pilgrim's Regress, The Space Trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Til We Have Faces).

[Brenton · Rating 4 out of 5]

A book too often forgotten yet so fresh and vivid.
