	That Hideous Strength - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		That Hideous Strength is a novel by C.
		He also attacks the contemporaneous trend of non-traditional teaching of children, a trope that he also worked into the Narnia series, using the author's voice at one point to observe that while performing experiments on children would be met with outrage, for some reason sending them to "experimental schools" was considered progressive.
		The "Banquet at Belbury", where the evil N.I.C.E. leaders are made unable to comprehend each other's language and are thus undone, is clearly based on the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel, to which the book's name also refers.

		That Hideous Strength is Lewis's only work of fiction set in the time and place in which he lived, and its principal concerns continue to have currency and relevance.
		Part of the enduring fascination of That Hideous Strength is Lewis's ability to evoke this "momentous history" not visible in daily newspapers or scholarly tomes.
		Their combined strength overcomes even "That Hideous Strength," as each of their lives is woven into a respendent tapestry of imagined redemption history.

		The book is written in a much more fluent style, and it is easier to read; combine this with the plot, which is often highly absorbing, and the result is almost a page-turner.
		That Hideous Strength describes an attempt to build a modern Tower of Babel in England during the 1940s.
		As part of the general improvement in the quality of writing, the characters in That Hideous Strength are remarkably much more believable, and certainly much less trivial.

		On the day I began to reread the book for this essay, the press reported that a British government agency called the Human Fertilization and Embryological Authority (HFEA) is sounding out public opinion about the use of Pre—implanatation Genetic Diagnosis, which will allow parents to screen their embryos for genetic defects.
		Although magic and miracles play their part, in the end it is more the bravery of decent people and the self—destructive hatred of the wicked that decides the outcome.
		To me, That Hideous Strength is a thrilling story that I enjoy more each time I reread it, but I have heard others say that the action is contrived, the characters one—dimensional, and the tone didactic.

	C. S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength: Quotations and Allusions
		Since That Hideous Strength was written in 1943, allusions to Tolkien must be references not to the finished text of The Lord of the Rings, but to some early prefigurations and side products which Tolkien had read aloud to his fellow Inklings.
		From a comparison between the first British and first American editions of That Hideous Strength, it appears that Lewis originally wrote the story having in mind 1 October as Day One but later decided, presumably with a view to the descriptions of the season, to shift the story half a month on.
		While Lewis was writing That Hideous Strength, in 1942, he was feeling a recent impact from reading I and Thou, as appears from two letters he wrote in the summer of 1942: one to Sister Penelope on 29 July, and one to Owen Barfield a few days later (Collected Letters Vol.

		That Hideous Strength, unlike the first 2 books in this series, where Ransom leaves earth and fights evil in space and on other planets, the battle in this book takes place on earth.
		"Hideous" is brilliant because it combines a pragmatic look at evil people and diabolical conspiracies with a wit and humor that keeps me laughing on almost every page.
		I was confused at the beginning since the story seems to suddenly break from the 1st two in the trilogy, both in storyline, and in the fact that there seems to be no science fiction in Hideous.

	George Orwell's review of C. S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength
		Still, it is possible to think of a fairly large number of worth-while books in which ghosts, magic, second-sight, angels, mermaids, and what-not play a part.
		Lewis’s “That Hideous Strength” can be included in their number – though, curiously enough, it would probably have been a better book if the magical element had been left out.
		For in essence it is a crime story, and the miraculous happenings, though they grow more frequent towards the end, are not integral to it.

		Of the three books, this one is the least fun, but it is the one with the most memorable depiction of the means by which the dark side manipulates human perceptions to destroy impulses toward goodness, hope, and love.
		"That Hideous Strength" (1945) is the third book in the Space Trilogy, but in many ways it is completely different than the first two books: "Out of the Silent Planet" (1938) and "Perelandra" (1943).
		As we 21st-century Americans find ourselves steeped in the waking nightmare of an unfolding vindication of Stringfellow's prophetic thought, it is heartening at least to see a growing interest in it-- books lately republished and his ideas taken up and further developed e.g.

		But in the many layers of its allegory, and the sophistication and piercing brilliance of its insights into the human condition, it occupies a place among the English language's most extraordinary works for any age, and for all time.
		In That Hideous Strength, the final installment of the Space Trilogy, the dark forces that have been repulsed in Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra are massed for an assault on the planet Earth itself.
		Word is on the wind that the mighty wizard Merlin has come back to the land of the living after many centuries, holding the key to ultimate power for the force that can find him and bend him to its will.

	Cerulean Sanctum: That Hideous Strength
		That Hideous Strength has been behind much of what churches in America call progress in the last forty or fifty years.
		In recent years, the Church Growth Movement largely abandoned itself to that strength, and Emergent is taking it one step further--at least if a decent reading of the acolytes of Emergent is any indication.
		Well, for my purpose here it is not quite what Lewis defined in his novel as the power of the Eldils (fallen angels), but it is another monstrosity virtually on par with it: the power of Man.

		By supporting the great deception of this Hideous Strength, the undiscerning faithful are doing the true Christ the greatest injustice of all.

		Lewis answers that question by creating a story that takes place entirely on earth, with a new set of main characters, and villains whose goal is nothing short of world domination.
		That Hideous Strength initially introduces us to a young married couple, Mark and Jane Studdock, who have fallen out of whatever "love" they were in to begin with.
		Lewis immediately creates strong characters, and builds up a tension between them that ultimately helps drive them apart throughout the remainder of the book.

		What makes this book compelling is the magnificent characterisation of the married couple Mark and Jane Studdock, taking opposite sides in a particularly bitter struggle between the Hideous Strength and its opponents, and who take up whole chapters describing struggles within themselves and their uncertainty about their relationship.
		That Hideous Strenght was one of the first SF books I bought and is at least in part responsible for the five crammed bookcases which now house my collection.
		The influence of Charles Williams' thrillers on 'That Hideous Strength' have been noted before now.
