  • SHADOWLANDS Introduction
    SHADOWLANDS Introduction ‘Shadowlands’ tells of the extraordinary love between C. S. Lewis, the famous writer and Christian academic and Joy Gresham, an American poet who came to know him first through his writing. She was to die shortly after their marriage. ‘Shadowlands’ was first a television and then a stage play and is now a film starring Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger. This guide is for use before and after a viewing of Richard Attenborough’s film. It seeks to expand for class work the themes of love and bereavement, the risks of emotional involvement and the challenge to all faiths of pain and tragedy as well as discussing the way film tackles these difficult subjects. JACK AND JOY Olive Staples Lewis - known always as Jack - was born in 1898 in Belfast three years after the Lewis’s first son, Warren or “Warnie”. The brothers were very close, and spent much of their adult bachelor life living together near Oxford in a ramshackle house, The Kilns, known to their friends as The Midden (Old English for dung heap). What impressions do we first receive of the brothers? How does the film express briefly a little of their life “before” Joy? What do we learn during the course of the film of C. S. Lewis’s world? Apart from Joy, what other women do we “meet” in ‘Shadowlands’? How are they represented? Find out a little about Britain in the 1950s. Who was Prime Minister? When did rationing end? Why was Princess Margaret known as the “heartbreak princess”? As well as picture and library research, ask those who were alive at the time.

    “To Be Concerned about Being Grown Up”: Preoccupation with the Adult in C.S. Lewis’s Boxen Juvenilia Senior Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For a Degree Bachelor of Arts with A Major in Literature at The University of North Carolina at Asheville Fall 2006 By Jessica Wallace _______________________ Thesis Director Dr. Deborah James _______________________ Thesis Advisor Dr. Merritt Moseley Wallace 1 C.S. Lewis was born to be a writer. He once overheard his father tell his grandfather, “‘He is the most easily amused child I ever saw. Give him pencil and paper and he’ll be quiet for hours’” (C.S. Lewis, “Autobiographical Fragment 2”). As a child, Lewis created imaginary worlds, and his earliest stories grew out of his drawings of Animalland, a country of anthropomorphic animals. At some point, Lewis merged his Animalland with his brother Warren’s land of India to create Boxen, a land inhabited by talking animals and Indians. Five “novels” and one play survive from the Boxen years. Surprisingly, scholars have ignored these earliest Lewis writings. Because juvenilia are traditionally considered non-canonical works “outside the corpus of respectable material for study,” Lewis’s Boxen juvenilia have been relegated to a “marginal literary status” (Alexander, “Defining” 93). However, the Boxen juvenilia deserve scholarly attention because the stories provide a glimpse into the mind of a child author, granting insight into Lewis’s childhood preoccupation with the adult. In one of the few critical pieces on the Boxen juvenilia, Walter Hooper, the self- appointed literary executor of the Lewis estate and editor of many posthumously published Lewis essays, discussed the young Lewis’s deliberate attempts to “sound adult” in his juvenilia.
