	Glenn Giokaris: The Philosophical Journey of C.S. Lewis
		Clive Staples Lewis, born in 1898, is one of the most prolific writers of the twentieth century.
		Lewis explained that his father, "sometimes appeared not so much incapable of understanding as determined to misunderstand everything." Despite the attempts by his father to be a friend to his sons, Lewis began to recede deeper into unhappiness.
		Lewis writes this from experience stating in the 1943 preface to The Pilgrim’s Regress that, "I myself have been deluded by one of these false answers in turn, and have contemplated each one of them earnest enough to discover the cheat." It is this that Lewis hoped to convey to the reader.

		Clive Staples Lewis ("Jack" Lewis to his friends) was a tutor and lecturer at Oxford University, and later Professor of Medieval and Renaissance English Literature at Cambridge University.
		Lewis delivered these in his professional capacity as a specialist in Mediaeval and Renaissance English Literature, but they will be of interest to Christians as well as to English students, for Lewis maintains that one cannot understand or appreciate the poem without understanding (not necessarily accepting) the beliefs that the poem presupposes.
		Lewis asks what will happen if we reverse the process by distinguishing two kinds of pleasures to be gotten from books (or music, or painting) and then distinguishing books on the basis of the kind of pleasure that they offer, or the way in which they invite the reader to approach them.

		Lewis would have been tickled by JK Rowling's success among adult readers, holding that "a children's story which is enjoyed only by children is a bad children's story", but older readers might also enjoy his introduction to medieval and renaissance literature, The Discarded Image.
		David Lodge claimed that Lewis represented "the 'Oxford' tradition of literary criticism at its best: "relaxed, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, conservative", though despite the 50s feel of his prose, his focus on the text itself, his insistence on the importance of historical context and his rejection of FR Leavis's canon-building seem increasingly modern today.

		Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland on November 29, 1898, Clive Staples ("Jack") Lewis was reared in a peculiarly bookish home, one in which the reality he found on the pages of the books within his parents' extensive library seemed as tangible and meaningful to him as anything that transpired outside their doors.

	CS Lewis
		Clive Staples Lewis was Professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, Fellow in English at Oxford University’s Magdalen College, and the author of the series of children’s classics The Chronicles of Narnia.
		Lewis defends the idea that there is an eternal and immutable moral law that, no matter how much we attempt to reduce it personal preferences and cultural attitudes, cannot be conquered.
		Using this device, Lewis seeks to debunk the universalist idea that all are saved, that whatever path one chooses for one’s life will ultimately fulfil the same role as any other and so will lead to the same place.

	National Review: Clive Staples Lewis: a dramatic life. - book reviews
		The so-called "Great War" between Lewis and his "other self," Owen Barfield, which went on for some ten years before Lewis's conversion and greatly influenced him for the rest of his life, is barely mentioned.
		When Lewis is gravely ill, his dear brother (and dearest friend), Warren, whom we know to be an alcoholic, is gone from the book.
		Occasionally he resorts to sheer nonsense, as in a sentence like "That he traduced scientists, Lewis claimed was inaccurate; what he seduced was scientism," or his use of fulsome to describe Lewis's mention of "dominical authority." 1988 will bring the 25th anniversary of Lewis's death and, surely, some good books by and about him.

		The Chronicles of Narnia are by far the most popular of his works, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which is the first and most popular book in the series, has been adapted for both stage and screen.
		The Chronicles of Narnia borrow from Greek and Roman mythology, and traditional English and Irish Faerie Tales: Lewis cites George MacDonald as an influence (in The Great Divorce, the narrator is chaperoned in Heaven by MacDonald).
		In addition to his career as an English Professor, and his novels, Lewis also wrote a number of books about Christianity, such as The Screwtape Letters -- letters of advice from an elderly demon to his nephew -- and perhaps more famously, Mere Christianity.
