  • 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.

  • ABSTRACT C.S. Lewis and the Conversion of the Aeneas Story In
    ABSTRACT C.S. Lewis and the Conversion of the Aeneas Story in the Ransom Trilogy Katherine Grace Hornell Directors: Phillip J. Donnelly, Ph.D. and Alan Jacobs, Ph.D. Many readers of C. S. Lewis’s writing consider his science fiction trilogy an odd divergence from his expected repertoire. Though Lewis’ "Ransom Trilogy" proves distinctive among his works, the books grow from the same deep roots in classical and medieval literary traditions that inform his other writings. Drawing from Virgil, Dante, and Arthurian legend to structure his narrative, Lewis unites ancient myth and modern fiction in order to illumine Classical stories with Christian faith. This thesis considers how Lewis’s science fiction draws on the features of secondary epic and its attendant meanings that appear in the Aeneid and in Arthurian stories. Ultimately, Lewis models how contemporary writers can make old stories live anew. APPROVED BY DIRECTOR OF HONORS THESIS: __________________________________________________ Dr. Phillip J.

  • The Grand Miracle Daily Reflections for the Season of Advent
    The Grand Miracle Daily reflections for the season of advent Based on the writings of C. S. Lewis ✷ J. R. R. Tolkien ✷ Dorothy L. Sayers George MacDonald ✷ G. K. Chesterton Charles Williams ✷ Owen Barfield ✷ Joy Davidman snowy landscape. A beaming lamppost. A world where it is always winter and never Christmas. The opening scenes of C. S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, Aand the Wardrobe set the stage, and readers young and old await Aslan’s return to Narnia, bringing with him the joy of Christmas. While Lewis doesn’t mention the birth of Christ specifically, he writes out of a deep sense of wonder and joy at the Incarnation as a world-transforming event: the Word becoming flesh (John 1:18). In one famous essay Lewis called it “The Grand Miracle.” You may be entering this Advent season with a sense of inadequacy. Perhaps your life is filled with great difficulty, the deep grief of loss, discouragement, finan- cial concerns, addiction, depression, or even a sense that God is far from you. The good news is that you are actually in a wonderful place to begin a meaning- ful Advent journey. For this season isn’t about what we must accomplish, but rather about what God has already done in the miracle of the Incarnation. In fact all we need to do is invite God into the authentic reality of our messy, broken, complicated Front cover by Douglas Johnson based on Edward Burne-Jones’s The Adoration (1904) lives—to be transparently present to him in the midst of our weakness.

    “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.

    AUTHORSHIP AND THE DISCOVERY OF CHARACTER IN MEDIEVAL ROMANCE Caitlin G. Watt A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Robert Babcock Reid Barbour Shayne Legassie Carolina Digital Repository Tedprovided Leinbaugh by View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk CORE brought to you by Jessica Wolfe 1 ©2018 Caitlin G. Watt ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Caitlin G. Watt: Authorship and the Discovery of Character in Medieval Romance (Under the direction of Shayne Legassie) This dissertation argues that by pioneering new ways of constructing and reading literary character, writers of twelfth- to fourteenth-century romance also claimed a new authority for vernacular fiction. Through readings of several key medieval texts, the dissertation not only illuminates character as an underestimated critical tool used by medieval writers in but also intervenes in the ongoing scholarly discussion of medieval authorship. It begins with Le Roman d’Enéas, a twelfth-century adaptation of Virgil’s Aeneid that, by revising tensions in the characters of the Latin royal court, familiarizes the epic for a courtly audience and posits its writer as an authoritative interpreter of the Aeneid. Next, medieval concepts of memory and contemporary serial narrative theory are used to argue that Chrétien de Troyes, inventor of French Arthurian romance, creates a model of character that requires audiences to read his romances as a corpus and thus establishes himself as the author of a new literary tradition.

  • The Problem of Pain Defended
    Seventeen PRO: THE PROBLEM OF PAIN DEFENDED Philip Tallon In 1939, Ashley Sampson of Centenary Press invited C. S. Lewis to write on the problem of evil for the Christian Challenge series. Lewis asked if he could write anonymously, because he felt he did not live up to the hard-edged principles he would need to espouse. This would not have been first time (or the last) that Lewis published anonymously. His early poems appeared under the name “Clive Hamilton” and the memoir of his wife’s death, A Grief Observed, was attributed to “N. W. Clerk” during Lewis’s lifetime. The publisher, however, refused his request for anonymity. And so with the publication of The Problem of Pain in 1940, Lewis kick-started his role as a public philosopher and theologian. Later works in this vein would include the radio talks that were published as Mere Christianity (1952), as well as books like Miracles (1947) and The Four Loves (1960), along with numerous essays on theological and philosophical topics. But The Problem of Pain was the first, and constituted a strong entry into the public sphere. Despite some self-deprecatory remarks by Lewis at the start of the book (“If any real theologian reads these pages he will very easily see that they are the work of a layman and an amateur”), Lewis’s work is thoughtful, scriptural, steeped in the Western tradition, and ambitious in scope (Lewis, 2001c, p. vii). Within 150 pages or so, Lewis handles the origins of religion, articulates the problem of evil in various forms, deals with free will and soul making, offers an imaginative reconstruction of the origins of humanity and its fall, discusses the nature of pain in some depth, grapples with the problem of animal suffering, and theologizes about heaven and hell.
