“Happily Ever After” For The Twenty-First Century? Sex, Love, And Human Identity In C. S. Lewis’ The Chronicles Of Narnia, Monika B. Hilder
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
For better and for worse, classic fairy tales have come under severe criticism as paradigms of sexist patriarchy in recent decades. Likewise, C. S. Lewis has been viewed as sexist, even misogynistic. While many fairy tale and Lewis fans might be tempted to dismiss all of these criticisms as nonsense, gender is one of the predominant discourses of our time, our questions and the varied answers are significant, and in this essay I consider how Lewis’ development of the fairy tale genre in The Chronicles of Narnia offers timeless, possibly even surprising, Christian wisdom. How does Lewis portray sex, love, …

“Nothing Beautiful Hides Its Face”: The Hiddenness Of Esther In C. S. Lewis’ Till We Have Faces, John Anthony Dunne
“Nothing Beautiful Hides Its Face”: The Hiddenness Of Esther In C. S. Lewis’ Till We Have Faces, John Anthony Dunne
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
C. S. Lewis’ last and arguably best novel, Till We Have Faces, is an impressively nuanced revision and recasting of Apuleius’ short tale of Cupid and Psyche, Books 4–6 of The Golden Ass. Although this ancient myth was the main source for Till We Have Faces, inspiration was no doubt gained from many places. One such influence, previously unnoted, was the biblical book of Esther. This study will note some of the key places where the influence of Esther is detectable, in particular Lewis’ choice of the name “Istra.” This is followed by an investigation into why Esther may have …

Why Lewis’ Poetry Matters, Don W. King
Why Lewis’ Poetry Matters, Don W. King
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
In spite of Lewis’ sustained, earnest, and determined efforts at writing poetry through the middle 1920s, his reputation will always be based on his prose, both fiction and non-fiction. That this is the case begs the questions: Does Lewis’ poetry matter? Why bother sifting through his verse if the real gold is to found elsewhere? Should not Lewis’ poetry simply be written off as so much adolescent self-indulgence? Did not his commitment to older poetic forms and traditions hopelessly date his poetry? While much could be said about the literary merits of Lewis’ poetry, here the discussion is limited to …
